card games

the scent of fried dough lingers

in the breeze just like a prize,

rainbow smiles and ice cream

paint the scene with starry skies

young couples’ faces brighten

playing games both rigged and fair

there’re stolen kisses sweetened

after funhouse mirror scares

A young man holds his partner

linked with her at hand and heel

soul bare, she stares into his eyes

up on the Ferris wheel

ladybug freckles on his

cheeks, hair ruffled by the

wind, aphids on the underside

of his candy apple grin

As night falls and the stars come

out, their lips inches apart,

she doesn’t know he’s only

playing card games

with her heart
