Eternal Doughnut

life in all it's sweetness

Bobbin’ on a cinnamon doughnut 

On the eternal sea 

Tastin’ the sweet sugar 

Left out for you and me 

Navigating through time and space 

Seeking answers to each question 

Never satisfied with what’s offered up 

Takin’ tangents to the new session 

Runnin’ around the circumference 

Of the doughnut tasting sweet 

We trip and fall all journey long

Yet sleep under the the same sheet 

We cuddle as we slumber 

Or thoughts meld into one 

Acknowledge each unto our own 

Yet on this doughnut we have fun 

Waking to a storm of sorts 

Reality punching in 

We knuckle down on doughnut ground 

Realising nothing is a sin 

Getting naked on the doughnut 

Showering ourselves with sugar that’s refined 

Dancing in nihilty 

My life is yours - yours is mine 

Within reflection of the prism 

In a single sugar speck 

We see every moment of the every when

Is right now - so what the heck….

Even though I’m runnin’ on this doughnut 

Life unfolds in every direction 

My reality sinks into insignificance 

I cease with striving for perfection 

Instead I run upon this doughnut 

Every breath I cherish long into the night 

For It is not long now, I’ll show you how 

This doughnut  - I shall take a bite.

…. LIFE IS HERE NOW … LET’s LIVE IT …..

What goes around...well you know. I like the analogy here, a little sweet, a little temptation and a hole (spelled that way intentionally) lot of life. This was really good.

this has donut in it, which means its great, i read it, but i am going to review the word donut, donuts are good, tasty, good, and really good, and good, so this was good and the donut is good so this must be the donut. which is good

Best Homer Simpson voice "Mmmmmmm, donut."
I kept getting stuck in a "circle" in the metaphor and looped back to the donut.
But I persevered, and enjoyed what you did with this poem.
Now I feel an urge to go to Tim Hortons. (It's a Canadian thing, not sure if an antipodean will know of this.)

a krispy kreme romance...the icing melting like our thoughts and passion...we are a circle of love...

love the analogy you created...in first line of second stanza did you mean "through"? I read it as that.

in need a glass of milk with your poem, please.

love your doughnut, i could not decide if i liked it better as the world or a spaceship or even just a doughnut but whichever it was a magic journey and your life is clearly a lot of fun :) xxx

Just got the shivers.... Ugh.
Not because of the poem. Great poem.
This donut makes me think of something else...

[Matching Socks]

No, probably not. When I wrote that I was still half asleep.
