Like A Carousel Poem by Faith Wood

As we raise our brows with the utmost care
Toast to the couple as they grin and bear
I almost did stop and stare
at the moment they touched eachother,
though feeling wasn't there.

The curtains flowed like a carousel in a fair
and the wind caressed the folecules of their hair
They danced to a rythm that filled the air
and parting of grasps
they would not dare

Just the thought gave them such a scare
Out in reality is a love so rare
that could blind the eyes of each pair
but unlike paradise,
here love can rip and tear.
