“The Carousel”
February 7th, 2014.
Valerie Viele
There is never a moment to stop
A real stop
A true stop
A sincere stop
When everything quits, halts, ceases and refrains
No matter where one stands
or what character one sits upon
Even if one is stationary
The carousel still revolves
One can walk this way
One can walk that way
One can lie down
but the carousel still revolves
Can one get off?
Can one get back on?
Can one make the choice?
There is never a moment to stop
and the carousel still revolves

I think I was dreaming
Until I met you
I've been sleeping restlessly
All of this time
When you kissed my lips
I opened my eyes
And saw you in the daylight
That I had never seen before
I knew I was awake now
When you held my hand
Your skin was so warm
Nothing like in my dreams
You led me from fantasy
Straight into reality
Taking me on magnificent adventures
That I never could have imagined
When I saw your boyish grin
And realized I was the cause
I was completely taken aback
My voice strangled in my throat
You take the breath from my lungs
And you paint the smile on my lips
I wear my favorite shade of happy
Tickle me pink, just for you
Nowadays we dream together
But it's nothing like it was
Before you kissed my lips
And I opened my eyes
Our dreams our endless enchantment
Full of wonder and whimsy
We allow our imaginations
To run wild and free
With you and me
Our dreams are boundless
There are no fences to corrall
The mustangs of our Will's
Full speed ahead and ********
Galloping with ferver
Together we ride in open fields
The daylight a fresh perspective
My eyes were opened
Because of you
And I will never let them close
Not now, not again, not ever
The days I spent dreaming
Are a memory far behind
I remember what it was like
But I don't wish to go back
I wish to stay with you
Riding our mustangs
Letting our Will's be the reigns
Our eyes open, in daylight.

Your cruel crimson lips
Blood dripping from your finger tips
My love a shattered work of art
The result of my broken heart
Splatters of scarlet hope
Mark the sheets where we eloped
My love a discarded virginity
The result of my mistaken affinity
Garnet was the decadent shade
Of the dress that veiled my vestal glade
My love a slippery hemline
The result of my relentless pine
The rusty curls on your head
Delivered me willingly into the bed
My love a handful of tangled hair
The result of my wanton affair
The flowers he sent were red
Reluctantly, I told him you were dead
My love a half-hearted lie
The result of my wandering eye
A ring offered, of ruby and gold
Silver is better, but I was sold
My love a rehearsed song
The result of my doing wrong
A burgundy kiss for a charming knight
A wedding of chastity white
My love a perfected role
The result of my injured soul
An artificial cherry-flavored ***********
Sloppy second copulation
My love a feigned first
The result of my unquenched thirst
The sheet is stained with merlot
Out with the trash, then he will never know
My love a memorized line
The result of my spilled debaucherous wine.

In a world of concrete
and televisions
there is no room
for love and liberty
only hyperspeed delusions
Screens project illusions
colorful and negative
****** **** war
pure destruction
revolution
Communication boxes
with buttons and blinky lights
musical tones to let you know
that your mother says hello
her voice and face is not enough
Letters are overated
conversations are useless
chivalry is ridiculous
and a smile is anything
but friendly
Neighbors are irritating
too much or too little
of this
that
or the other thing
Knowledge is power
accessible, unclear and confusing
nothing makes any sense
everyone is stupid
but everyone knows everything
Convenience
is inconvenient
never good enough
fast enough
or affordable
There's internet
for computers, tv and cell phones
books in every format
knowledge through every source
but it's all lies, right?
No one knows the truth
no one can believe it
everything is a lie
and everyone is trapped
between televisions and concrete
Nature is forgotten
or locked in fences
near park benches
trimmed and controlled
to particuliarities
Consummables are consumed
without recognition
of the quantity
or lack thereof
until there is nothing left.
Used and abused
people and animals
plants and minerals
oxygen and gas
depleted, destroyed, enslaved
There is no room
for love and liberty
in a world ruled
by delusions
created from concrete and televisions

The truth is beyond the horizon
it lies asleep
in the deep sea
The truth is sought after
to no avail
It will only wake and rise
when
the time
is right
The clock of eternity ticks
But no one knows the time
Every second counts
Adding up towards the end
The truth that is sought
will awaken
and bring
the end
of time
And all that has been waited for
Will commence in just one second
And in that one second
The truth will unfold
to reveal:
the end
and the beginning
of time.

I'm hanging by a thread
At least I feel that way sometimes
A noose around my neck
Though I'd make some pretty wind chimes.
I'm not going to let go
And let myself fall down
Luckily I have my many stars
That guide me through this desolate town.
I wander around lost
In the burning sun
But when the night comes
I can begin to have fun.
My many stars come out to shine
Showing me the way
And though I'll have a sleepless night
I'll be ready for the day.
Maybe you can guess
Who or what the stars are
But all that matters is their brilliance
To show me how to travel far.
Though nothing glows brighter
Then the moon in the sky
I may have my many stars
And that is not a lie.
But this big bright globe
Is more than just a friend
He keeps my heart up there
I know it's more than just pretend..
And more than just a fairy tale
Of a maiden and the moon
One day it will be forever after
Though maybe not so soon.
I wish upon a star tonight
Though the man in the moon is listening
I say: "I wish I can keep him for all time!"
And I swear, after, I saw him glistening...

I know you'll find your way
You always do
Like water in a stream
You flow wherever the current takes you.
And I've been by your side
Since the beginning
Though we're far apart
I don't feel our friendship thinning.
If anything it's stronger
And growing ever more
I don't stop to doubt it
I just let it up and soar.
Like a bird it has to fly
Every living thing must be free
I think
So I'll let it be.
And when I watch the sunset
I often think of you
Wishing I could see you
And ask you, "How do you do?"
Our paths always meet
At the crossroads of life
And I know you'll always be there
When I'm going through strife.
Though when things are bliss
I can always count on you
To swim with me in happiness
Instead of driving it undo.
Born kindred spirits
Taking a similar walk through time
I know I should have told you this
But I express better through rhyme.
So I jot out my feelings
Scribble out my thoughts
Cross all my T's
And top the I's with dots.
But I won't give you this poem
Because of what I think
Some things are better left unsaid
Or written in invisible ink.

I wish the words of my mouth
Could work like a fine stitching
Closing up the holes in your heart.
But I never have the words
To make it all go away
If anything, I just tear it all apart.
I'm not eloquent
Or tastefully soothing
But my heart beats in the right rhythm.
I try to say all the right things
Instead, I stumble and fall
I guess, truly, I am just winsome.
I watch your painful confusion
Unable to help
And we both seem to tumble into turmoil.
I wish could gracefully
Be your divine savior
But unfortunately I'm just a harlequin girl.

I tip them upside down
I throw them on the ground
It's the only way I can look at them clearly.
When they're right in my face
Everything seems out of place
And I can't seem to understand them sincerely.
When they fall apart
It damages my heart
And I have to put them all back together.
To read them right
They have to be in plain sight
So I can interpret the future weather.
What I'm talking about
Brings upon some doubt
That's hiding in the back of my mind.
But when I lay them straight
I can predict my fate
And the truth I will know, and can find.
Many things are applicable
And possibly despicable
To what I'm trying so hard to explain.
But really what it is--
The answer to this quiz
Is that my emotions are difficult to preordain.
So I'll look at the sky
And release them to fly
Because that is the best thing I can do.
Let them go free
And just let it all be
Then they will be easier to construe.
