here's to the girls:
who love pink cotton candy

I sigh, when
I glimpse at her alcohol glazed eyes,
fingers sticky with candy floss
lips curved in a teasing smile

her ink-black hair,
swept back in a ponytail
kissed with humour, I see 
her flirty gaze

nude lipstick,
her beige shift gown,
and her gray eyes looking like
two storm clouds.

my fingers itch to
brush a strand off of her cheek
as her dark hair ruffle
following a light breeze

she lightly strokes my knuckles
as the shaky basket sways
her face from mine,
only inches away

soft arms wind around my neck
my fingers curl up around her hip
her hands quiver as she kisses me
at the top,
of the Ferris wheel

up here, time stops
I feel,
the curve of her lips against mine
her kiss tells me it's just us,
Me, her, the endless sky.
