Circus

Circus

The flash of disco lights, the red
Velvet of arena, outlandish costumes
Blinding the spectators with a symphony
Colors serpentine on bodies, show of illusions
What is real in here , what is figment of imagination

Acrobats are flying over performing
Ballet in the high dimension, throwing
Tiny elfin woman like white cloud of roses
Strong masculine male hands waiting, catching
Sighs of the relief , the lovers in the tight embrace

Gymnast walking on the tightrope
Balance beam in hands, the baby steps
In the nervous silence of the circus, afraid for him
Wrong move is out of the question, the end with no salvation

The tamers in cage with lions and the tigers
The smile to the public, while putting head in
Lon's mouth, deep fear inside , he knows
Depending on the mood , lion tamed could become the wild

The crown of the show elephants
Knowing their worth , try take advantage
At your own risk , getting mad and crazy
They would destroy it all with sheer force
Otherwise so sweet and gentle,obeying man

The graceful stallions , the funny monkeys
Dogs and cats that seemingly behave like humans
Birds talking nonsense or singing arias from opera
And of cause the clowns, gregarious and funny

The circus life is full of glamor, but
Nobody have the information what
Behind the closed curtains, how hard those
People working ,hours and hours of training
Moving , travel to the cities, staying not too long
No place to call it home, rooms in hotels, lonely
Granting all this.. show must go on
