"I watch the moon gliding on the dark clouds above me and
Playing beneath my toes as I dance past silver pools.
The enticing tune leads me further from home, I feel the
Haunting tune right in my bones and I shiver at its beauty.
I dip gracefully under the rope secluding the dark wonderland
That keeps drawing and drawing me closer. The blazing candles
Cast multiples of my shadows that happily dance with me.
The light tune of a cello is brushed along the breeze.
The carousel turns slowly and I am drawn towards it in a trance.
The horses with gilded manes and tails of burnished bronze
Are calling to me, they want to dance with me in the moonlight.
I glide gently in my Mary Janes and mount a ghostly steed.
The eerie tune still plays in my ears as the wind plays in my hair
And I can feel your spirit watching me from afar in the shadows.
I dismount and wander towards the ferris wheel, where the
Ghost-like melody still lingers around me as I enter a gondola.
Whispers on the wind call to me, and I hear metallic moans of protest
As I am slowly lifted up towards the top of the wheel and the moon.
Small bobs of light below look like sprites and faeries, ‘tis a beautiful sight,
And I know they wish to dance with me throughout the night... "
This is a poem I wrote some time ago inspired by a song called 'Kagami' by Kanon Wakeshima (photo). You can listen to it here.
Whenever I listen to it I imagine a Lolita playing at an abandoned carnival. However, after reading a translation of the lyrics it is actually a song to do with Snow White...
I would love to hear any comments on my writing - it is a passion of mine.
