Circus of lies

"I've been debating"

Circus of Lies,

Carnival games,

Write me a line,

Don’t write your name

City of Angels

City of Ghosts

Moon over water

Beautiful coast

The city is haunted

Does it have lore?

History deluded

We’ve been here before

It’s cold and it’s windy

Wind whispers your name

In that brief moment

We’re on the same plane

Haunted by words,

Haunted by scenes

Haunted by thoughts

Here and between

What is a muse?

Why you onstage?

Why do these thoughts,

Fill up my page

Caught in a moment,

Moments we freeze

To keep them forever

Zero degrees

Your makeing this easy,

Words, they just flow

Been writing about you

Since long ago

Caught in the moment,

Frozen in time

Metaphorical world

eyes meeting mine

Things that don’t matter,

Not anymore

I grew from the chaos

Settled the score

Figured myself out,

Figured you too

For that I’m better

Hope you’re better too

Thinking about you,

I admit now is rare

You already know that,

know that I cared

Reading my words,

Then closing your eyes,

Hearing my voice

Feeling my vibe

Carousel music,

Let’s take a ride

Crusin’ your car

Passenger side

Beautiful moments,

Locked in a box,

Waiting for this one,

The key to unlock

11:11,

Just checked the time

Ironic of course

Your vision, not mine

Caught in a web,

The web of lies

Needing my help,

Kingdom of spies

Carnival music,

Thicken the plot

Let’s play a game

Ready or not?

Writing about you,

Metaphorical land

Telling the story

You’ll understand

Walking a tightrope,

Eyes on the crown,

Keep your steps ordered,

Never look down

Living a nightmare

Stuck on that wire

Not speaking your thoughts

Not feeding the fire

Looking for something,

This is your sign

Speaking real truth

Cosmic design

In choppy waters,

Saddest goodbye

You knew the truth

When you looked in my eyes

Holding that moment,

Not letting it go

Depriving me of,

What I needed to know

I filled in the blanks,

Things speak for themselves

You boxed up the moments

Stored them on shelves

To live in this moment,

Time travel the past

Revisit the reasons,

moving so fast

Elemental forces,

Can’t predict the weather

You and I exist in myth,

Alchemy together

Reaching further,

Letting go,

Release these words,

For you to know

Hiding nothing,

Being real,

Confirming things,

The things you feel

Like a secret,

I’m not telling,

Others reading,

It’s compelling

Whose the object,

Of this letter,

Crafting poems,

Just gets better

Dancing lyrics,

No more tears,

Beautiful music,

Filling my ears

To the one,

I used to know,

This one’s for you,

You will know

Unfreeze time,

Un-pause the show

Speak your peace,

Then let me go

To the past,

A former me,

Here’s the future,

You could not see

You had to get here,

On your own,

Scooby Clues,

Golden tone

Like a red rose,

Under glass,

In a castle

There’s the sass

Now you get it,

Now you follow,

Thorns from roses,

Causing sorrow

I’ll write the scene,

I’ve been debating,

Flip the script,

No more waiting

Being real,

Calling shots,

Changing outcomes,

That’s a lot

Circus clowns,

Just distraction,

Remove themselves,

That’s subtraction

Circus music,

Circus clowns,

Three ring circus,

Leaving town

To be continued…
