Poetic Carousel Pt. I

A Series of poems by Poet Mario William Vitale

(1) Midas Touch

　

my meager skull personates the granduer

the illustrative muse above the challenge

to care to share to point out the queer

lines are being drawn in the sand

.......................................................................

forbidden torment

when to understand,

words can create a lasting void

share with others your unique words

......................................................................

　

perchance to dream to charm away

with words to say out on the golden pond

to dream emerge the better man

painted sky with colors of vast duration

　

........................................................................

stay strong in the moment

　

　

(2) Dolphin's Stream

　

out in the vast ocean blue

there are clues of what you need to do

to visit the combersome notion of the plains

the artist takes out their canvas

......................................................................................

away from forbidden hearts

onto a newer way torn shades of grey

to charm the most

like a lost seagull heading off on the coast

.............................................................................................

we close our eyes from the way of the stream

Dolphin's soar and begin all over again

beautiful noises it makes to the faint cry of a passerby

shadows block the vortex on each passing note

..............................................................................................

go deep stand still & repeat

　

(3) Never Surrender

　

girl your all that I'm asking for

just a little more time can open closing doors

just a little uncertainty can bring you down

when you bottom drops out never surrender

...........................................................................................

when you car has a busted up fender

hold fast with two hands when to understand

words can cut deep stand still to repeat

shades of black with a touch of grey

.............................................................................................

when your alone in your own little pit never give up never quick

move to your center that is your right

never relent to give up on the fight

inside we hide behind four walls that bind

...............................................................................................

faster and faster

take the trash out

learn to make your mark

this is your moment

　

　

(4) Carry On

　

shades of sadness

shards of grey

stay humble enough to pray

a very good cause to stay

.......................................................................................................

although you can walk through the miracle mile

it helps to raise the chord of contentment,

isn't it a coincidence at a glance

learn to walk over hot lava coals

............................................................................................................

hold dear to your own

long lines we have acquired toward the way

free as a bird as long as you stay

red, black & grey

　

..............................................................................................................

carry on with a song in your heart

through the conclave of love's parting view

remain strong to the end my faithful friend

　

(5) Business As Usual

　

it isn't casual its business as usual

through every bend in the road

beneath the swell you glare

none the worse for wear

................................................................................

love can change the stance of a lonesome child

love is in the miracle business

out of every circumstance

dig deep my friend

....................................................................................

drive back the dagger from my heart

everyday there's a brand new baby born

every night got the sheets to keep me warm

don't ever curse the day you were actually born

.................................................................................

another page is turned

one soul soars while the other will burn

carry on with a song in your heart to impart

the magical chord connection out of every direction

.....................................................................................

Tom Petty had every reason to fly

Hendrix worked on his magic fly

business as usual stand in the middle playing second fiddle

radiate with cadence

..........................................................................................

filtered through a song
