Fanciful Farce!

What I fancy 
is what I do not have.
All stored in drowning drains of desires
floating in brittle baskets of my brain.
They live inside me,
cannot survive without me,
die disillusioned sometimes
due to the frivolity of my fancies.

What I fancy -
too fanciful beyond imagination.
No wonder, I lose them to eternity,
floating specs of dust 
let loose in the horizon.
My illegitimate wishes
undeserving of my stature,
burn forever in the glistening whirlpool of creation.

Prompt: FANCY

'I lose them to eternity,
floating specs of dust
let loose in the horizon'....touching words indeed.

Hi Beyni,

So nice to see you here. And loved it that you liked the poem....

Hope said...

I guess this is where we feel eternity. In the whirlpools of creation.

love your poem. You expressed this thought very well!

thank you

Thanks dear Hope. Feeling eternity becomes possible when we realize that we cannot get all that we want and also get what we did not think we would ever get...

Shail, your use of alliteration and internal rhyme is very good.

The poem itself, touching. I'm going to scroll down and check out Halloween now - the graphic is great!

We all have those wants and desires that will never be fulfilled. Sometimes these are what keep us going.

Thank you Patti. Yes, certain things that we fancy are indeed not ours. How we long for something that we cannot get....
