Carnival

Welcome to the Carnival
of Dreams and Memories,
Where flashes of neon coloured
lights reveal the truth.

 

Round and round we go
On a Ferris wheel of expectations,
I dream of finding
Myself in the funhouse of mirrors.

 

Is the clown mocking my evasive memories?
Or is the tarot card showing my future?
Who's to say what's real and what's fantasy?

 

Truths dissolve into the mist
as memories start turning into reality.
And yet, I lose myself in this Carnival
of Nightmares and Memories.
