Carnival Girl

Carnival girl; exuberant and enchanting,

Scattering feathers and glitter as you sway

Through the swarm of dancing, dilating faces,

Patchwork robes, electric threads and strawberry laces.

 

Carnival girl; a hurricane of exhilarations,

Swirling and spreading relentless wonder

To all - none deny your splendour,

Your mystical ability to be dangerous and raw, yet tender.

 

Carnival girl; are you just a test for my desires?

Tugging at puppet-strings, miming my dreams,

A figure for me to fester my fantasies...

Or perhaps jus to challenge the acceptance of my realities.
