Delightfully Darkart "lust carnIVAL"...

​Carnivals of lust
Float down
Main street
Lovers feasting on frenzied flesh
Spin wildly round 
And round
Carousels of debauchery
Ancient animals
Carved and twisted
In worm-rotted wood
Spin madly
Mirrors Light
Reflecting 
Inner madness
With colors and sight
Fortune tellers
Wearing encrusted faded
Plastic jewels
In their crowns
Like a dirty sunset
Smeared painted 
Clowns dance naked
Carrying smudged
Tired balloons
Ferris wheeling across the smut
Filled sky
Dirt covered tents faded 
In dust
Reeking of sticky cotton candy
Faked pink creating a delusion
Of lust and fantasy
Smells of dust sweat
Aged popcorn
Dull dried
Vendors plying
Wares – 
Caveat emptor!
Sun-reflected chariots
Brightly painted in
Unknown dialects
Rolling slowly onward
Playing ancient
Calliope melodies
Hallowed tunes beckon
Pipes whisper
“Draw near, See clear”
Taste exotic sweets 
Smell the sawdust
Feel streams of heat
Reflecting an oasis
Turning like a creaky
Brilliant Ferris wheel.
Mindless delusions
Slowing churning sour
Lonely parallels winding 
Amaze of patterns 
In my brain
Empty sockets stare
Etched in permanent nightmare 
Restless, timeless wandering slaves
Beaten to the ground
In stoned glass caves.
Seal your heart with iron doors
Rusted tight with all your tears
