At the Carnival

Candy floss and carousels
Bumper cars and clowns on stilts
The evening sparkles with stars bright
You and me, the perfect couple, a perfect night
 
You hold my hand as we walk between stalls
You win me a gigantic teddy bear by throwing balls
You scoop me up and spin me around
Just like that your love takes me off the ground
 
You put me down gently and kiss me on my forehead
I can hear the kiss comes with an “I love you” but nothing was said
You take a moment and just stare down at me
If only you knew my future in your eyes I see
 
On the Ferris wheel we hold hands and kiss
That’s the moment we both make a wish
The carnival music plays in the background
The chemistry between us has me spellbound 
 
You take my hand and place it on your heart
You promise me that we will never part
You tell me you see your future in my eyes too
Right there you propose and I answered “I do”

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
