Premium Member Tears of a clown
In the halcyon hush of twilight meadows, a clown carves laughter from hydrangea elixir, his smile — a fuchsia epitaph, hidden behind a dazzling white glow. Sparkling countless orbs drift from his broken pockets, ghosts grow wishes in splotchy shade, each sangria song he sings splinters against the opalescent...

Once, he wore the smile of a happy man but now that seems so out of place on the foolish facade of a circus clown who stood on his head to draw on his face. His life had been turned upside down. What tragedy has filled him with dread, this man, who paints a silly grin on his lips and cries just...

Premium Member Catharsis of Clown
Since I first put on the greasepaint, smooth as cream on morning toast, they said I had a gift for making people laugh. Natural as breathing. Effortless as falling. Born to perform like a bird in flight. So I've kept that image, polished it like brass until it gleamed. beneath the painted...

Inspired by the Iron Maiden Song, Tears of a Clown Drinking, he recalled the Circus Grim, and the strange world that ruined him. He had done anything for a laugh. Once, the magician sawed him in half. He'd traveled the whole country round. Now tears fall from the circus clown. An orphan child, running from disaster, fell into the service...

Premium Member The Greatest Circus Clown
He shuffled in. He wore a frown. This lone stranger was new in town, but his teeth were straight, and his aim was true, and he had a hole in his head that birds went through, and I would put all my money down, that, everywhere, the world around, he'll be the greatest circus clown....

See that clown going around town, with his big floppy shoes, an orange wig, a red nose so bright, a haunting laugh. He pulls a rabbit from a hat, making everyone laugh. A balloon dog walks like a puppet into the arms of a little boy— squealing with delight and fright, he runs off with his new friend under his arm. The clown looks around. Mascara runs...

Premium Member King of Clowns
You laughed too hard in 1996/ Thought I'd trip and stay down for kicks/ But I climbed back up, twice the size/ Now I shred, watch the sparks fly/ My drummer joked, said guitars are lame/ Left him roadside, questioning fame/ Why does a guitar need a case, he asked/ To contain its stringed up past/ Steel strings bend, the pick obeys/ My...

Premium Member I Took Satan's Throne
I strolled into Hell like a VIP/ Satan said, "what's this nonsense I see"/ "Bro, I out evil you", I smirked with glee/ Then he rage-quit chess, forfeiting to me/ God gasped, his jaw hit the floor/ "I designed Satan, what is this lore"/ I shrugged, "he misplayed the Sicilian once more"/ "Then fell for a joke about the grocery store"/ He plotted...

I'm a Ghetto clown, a fool for the cash/ Juggling dreams while the world does a dash/ If laughter's a crime, then call me a crook/ I'll steal your frown with a single look/ They call me a lamb, said, Take the fall/ But I laughed so hard, I shook the hall/ Crucify me? Sure, but here's the thing/ I'll go out...

has he got the balls to juggle? doesn’t he have balloons? only a knife and a photo of his mother not meeting their gaze only walking by, fixed eyes on the horizon he walks down the block party where mothers hold children in fear and Dennis is in a trance dancing toward the uncertain nothing to leave toward another town start anew parties in...
