Carousel
Bad habits are a vicious cycle, that MUST be broken.
Round and round again
When will it end
I found myself, again
Falling off the shelf again
But right before I hit the ground, I wake up again
Starting off, back at the top, looking down
Waiting to fall
Bound to habits like the creature I am
Times I'm not thinking at all
Crowded
By the loudest of sounds
It's only
A matter of time
Before I'm facing the ground again
Closer, and closer
Here it comes, I'm counting rounds
One hundred and one
Up, and down
Until I say, "Not Again."
Then, the ring breaks
And remains– None
The merry-go-round lays on its side
Never to be wound up again

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.

Awesome poem! If I had one suggestion it would be to try to not rhyme the same word over and over. You used the word again and it was annoyingly repetitive to me. I find myself doing the same thing but I would challenge you and me to try to find new creative ways to say the same thing! But love your writings so keep it up!
