Carnival

Wild ride

They dance in the air

The sweet potato fries

Floating and bobbing

Just like fireflies

The moon is below us

My stomach feels weak

We are on the Ferris wheel

It’s adventure we seek

You smile

And give me a token

I can’t look in your eyes

We haven’t spoken

I blink twice

And my bare feet feel sand

I’m in the ocean

Where is land?

Where’d you go?

I can hear the music playing

The carnival is in full swing

What was I saying?

A bell chimes

Now I’m in a big tent

Watching you in the ring

bending a serpent

I scream and shout

You smile and dance

I can’t take it anymore

I wake up without any pants

    That last line...hahahaha! This was great! Loved the dreamy, carnival feel, and the way you worded it made it feel like pressure was rising and I was spinning, until POP the dream was over. Great work!
