Circus of the Soul (Featuring the Amazing Tummy Flip)

…I am in possession
      of a jaded heart and
        a scarred soul.

No longer fresh faced,
                      with youth on my side,
my rose-colored glasses
have been ground under the heels
of several cruel men.

So when that strange feeling
        e.r.u.p.t.s 
           
The emotion
        scares me senseless.

The calliope music
          circles around my head
like a love sick memory
                I can almost see.

The haunting taste of
        watermelon flavoured kisses
  suggests a change of shows
to my lips and the trapeze artists
              In my tummy create a

    Nouvelle Expérience

    Loved that last line and the sensory preception written throughout this wonderful work of poetic justice. "Love" is an emotion that is ofen a task to write but you dear poet have done exceedingly well. Thanks for your patience in my commenting on your poetry.



    HAPPY HOLIDAYS & NEW YEAR *SANTA*

    Much LOVE ♥

        In all honesty watermelon=love to me. XD
        It's a weird association based on FLCL and this one "The Katie's" song and summer of 2004.
        That's why when I read that line I was like O.O *jaw drops*
        Plus watermelon is just plain yummy.
