My interpretation of the day.

Image via Wikipedia

Here I sit

 

But Im not here

 

Comfortable

 

In wayward thought

 

Everything is smooth

 

Like Motown R&B tracks

 

Lights beam down

 

Like an airport terminal at night

 

This is the wheel I am chained to

 

The wheel were all chained to

 

Some chains are just heavier

 

Than others

 

Life is a circus

 

And I didn’t pay for admission

 

But here I watch

 

Clowns jumping through

 

Flaming hoops

 

Burning their ass

 

Right through to their soul

 

A scar worn for eternity

 

Thank god for music

 

Aloe to the soul

 

Cool, soothing

 

My life is a book

 

Choose your own adventure

 

Turn to page 36 for romance

 

Page 8 for dead ends

 

Eyes are so heavy

 

Yet so light

 

Can’t keep them open

 

Can’t close them tight

 

Voices echo through

 

My own personal auditorium

 

Because I am the only one

 

Behind my eyes

 

And deep sighing breath

 

Two beautiful women

 

Like a perfect balance

 

One with eyes like thunderstorm skies

 

And hair like a ravens coat

 

One with eyes crystal blue

 

And hair like bars of gold

 

They both have that smile

 

Choose my own adventure

 

Page 36 for romance

 

Page 8 for dead ends

 

No matter what the story

 

Always a choice

 

Or multiple questions

 

Divine complications

 

Which, which is which

 

Or which lips to kiss

 

But it remains a question

 

Until the last sentence

 

Is read

    I had to read this after seeing the rather puzzling title. I do like your work.
