Gold-dust

It’s gold-dust this time

That settles upon my second home-

Upon the wrinkled branches

And lazy leaves floating in the air.

It waltzes around the open-plan house,

Dissolving the windows

And multiplying the worth of my

Ancient antiques,

Metallic veins pulse within this place.

My frivolous hair is electrified

In this celestial light,

A component in a circuit

That can never be broken.

Revelations upon revelations

Greet my eyes

As I see faint spirits coming into focus

And hear new muted sounds

Echoing amid the calling plants.

Uncontrollably I begin to turn,

Spun like a fly in a spider’s web,

Skipping, innocent and intellectually free-

Moving to the beat of the heart

Of my home

And swaying in time to the song of the birds.

Nobody can save me once I’m caught

But I’m smiling, grinning, beaming

With the sun…

Never take me away from where I’ve become

Me.

NOT THE POEM : does anybody please know how to separate the verses other than with those lines? i've tried the shift+enter thing but it never works..do you have to do something else too? i'd be eternally grateful if someone would let me know.
