Carousel Poem by Kevin East

Memories
Like summer rain
Come and go
Ebb and flow.
Like the tide.
Our carousel ride
So brief.

Like dewdrops on a leaf.
In the softest Autumn sigh
Both in beauty, wait to die.
Heaven or hell
Split by one golden hair.
Ride your carousel
Before that electric chair.

Embrace joy
And your bird will soar.
Dance with your lover on the shore.
Woo her with a forever kiss.
Heat her heart with passion burning.
Drink the sky, and every bliss.
While your carousel's still turning.
