My Cirque De La Nuit!

When the clown

separates from myself.

His laughter echoes from

fairground Ferris-wheel high,

each cup on wheel,

a thought contained, circles.

I juggle words with

ease, tossed high

Falling on lion's roar.

Within the boundaries:

My circus of dreams nearby.

  

While my carousel of thoughts:

gone wild, riding the undulations

of life.....  go round and round

travel, gathering momentum.

The spotlights bright

shining tight-rope high.

Balanced are my dreams;

on my trapeze , my thoughts

dangling,....... are released.

In aerial acrobatic 

display of thoughts;

free-fall cartwheels flow

Into somersaults spin free.

My thoughts, my dreams........ fly free ....  fly free!

Dreams on balloons near carousel,

by the side-stalls set free;

fly high with colour

roam the heavens,

over my circus flag:

A Rainbow!

On Sultan's swing

outside I sit, eyes grazing

on sparkling dots

that litter the blackened skies.

I catch my thoughts...... 

My circus of the night!

My "Cirque De La Nuit"

In my circus of thoughts

in thought.....

I slide down my rainbow!

Agree with everything Anto says here Andrew. This is a wonderful write and the theme and the flow between stanzas is seamlessly progressed. It's all that we hold inside writ large.

Excellent piece Andrew - what superb imagery and the whole feel of it is like a cranial carnival for the reader. Theres that dark horse peeking out.
Very impressive writing my friend.
