In Small Circles (I Feel No Pain)
In small circles, I feel no pain
The magic flows, imbues my brain
Turns my focus to the sky
I
Shall remain
Puerile dreams that drive the train
Deplete themselves by grain by grain
Wish me peace, a brief goodbye
I
Board again
And to these worlds I touch the rain
That falls upon this soul and stains
Does it rain or do I cry
I
Reach and strain
For dreams are driving me insane
Beyond my reach they shall remain
And as the numb becomes this nigh
I
Feel no pain

A Blast from the Past :-)
Wow! Kelly, I need to think about your poem. Had it not been for your smiley, I would have been concerned. Just got through reading a poem posted by a fourteen year old, and it alarmed me. The third stanza really impressed me, and, as always, I love the form of your verse.
Thanks, Ms. Letty! I'm going to root around and put a few more of my jurassic work up here, when I get a chance!
wow, very interesting flow. For whatever reason this one sings and I sing along. Excellent!
This was an incredibly interesting look into your past. It's amazing how different 'Vapours of Promise' is, but all is excellent!
"I" love the use of "I" to divide the stanzas, especially as it screams "one", at least in Roman.
Thanks all. Not sure if these be a' singin' songs :-)
It's kinda fun leafing through these old books of mine!
Ego sum humilis, Cav :-)
by sing I refer to how it makes me want to recite the poem out loud, to hear the rhythm and rhyme. With some poems, I can do this with just my inner voice, but some beg to be spoken and heard.
Ahh, I know exactly what you mean! Check out 'Judgment Day', which I posted a few days ago. Now *that* one is more of a singing poem!
i realy like this one
you write such good stuff
You are too kind, mighty Vex. Glad you enjoy my ancient work. I'll post more selections from my early books, when I get a chance!
