I wish my love is your first breath
of crisp, fresh air;
the first glimmer of sunlight,
lining the horizons of dawn,
as the lights of the Ferris wheel burn out;
your lips stained with nostalgia,
kissed with the cherry tint of candy floss;
the smell of clean fabric against your skin--
I wish I am--
fragranced with the scent of popcorn--
after the carnival.
