Carnaval

See the bright lights of the Carnaval. I wander with the marvels In of my sights of beautiful balloons, stuffed animals capers popcorn reeks cotton candy melts I see the rides, twirl I feel the fortunetellers, tell I see lights blaze, bright apples dripped in forbidden spice, nice The fire eaters drink the flame The clowns dance the dance of fools The carousel creatures grin sinisterly Ferris wheels spins Feeling the screams of the thrill seekers Ice cream melts, runs, in the warm evening Gerrish banners flying, high flapping absently Freaks babble nonsense Laughter fills the twilight Treading thinly on hysteria In the distance stands a tall tent starkly A place of the damned, Twisted are the freaks Crowds milling like drones In the masses a figure stands, darkly Wondering among the sights Playing games of chance Thrill seekers scream echoing delights A carnival in spin my world in turn I wonder with apathy I see what the road has for tragedy The ferris wheels spin Carousels twirl The monsters whirl Something grins On harlequins grease stains run I tread on the edge of sanity I feel something come Seeing the bright lights, Dark of the night, Feeling crowds of the Carnival...
