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.

Great smiles she possesses,
Her sterling beauty lacks nothing,
Her heart is pure as gold and white as snow,
Her voice is strong enough to cure her mother's diseases,
For it moves mountains of her burden,
For she whispers sweet nothings and grant her mother's exhilarations,
Little one with valour and of virtue,
What more could her mother ask for?
For she extricate all her mother's burdens,
Little one! Little Angel,
A messenger from God,
To keep us very elated.
