Carousel Of Tears Poem by Bonnie Collins
Carousel Of Tears
Carousel of tears night after lonley night
never stopping and never starting continuing
on the same evolution
Our tunnel of love now seemed to come
to its end, followed by the roller coaster
and not to mention the ferris wheel
of endless hope
Magic flowing in the night air
with the lights aglow, winning
my cupid heart, and sharing
a candy apple we enjoyed
all that the big top could offer
Capturing each and every
excitement well knowing
that the midway will close soon
So after winning the biggest teddy
bear you could find, and taking
all the photos with love written
on our faces
We silently walked as the lights
went out and now I am left with
this carousel of tears.......
Your theme of disappointment is perfectly encapsulated by your choice of a carnival theme with it's glitsy 'theatrical' mask and it's underlying sweat and angst. So often it is the comic who suffers from depression. Great piece. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
