Circus of Emotions

Brother Bill Kelso sure has had a way with women, and his love life, especially in college, could be described as a circus.  Some of the acts were tense as high-wire acts without safety nets, and some were, well, just imagine a clown.  He wrote this poem with one woman in mind in college.

Circus of Emotions

 There’s a circus of emotions in your heart.
Some people come to the circus happy,
 some come sad, but the smiles and
 actions of the clowns make everyone glad.

 There’s a circus of emotions in your heart.
Three rings of events attract interest
 simultaneously, and all acts demand
 you to look, laugh, and clap your hands.

 There’s a circus of emotions in your heart.
Lions and tigers need to be tamed, and
 several sideshows, for a price, can be gamed.
 Never is every night at the circus the same.

 There’s a circus of emotions in your heart.
The smell of fresh popcorn fills the air.
  People you will never see again are there,
  and you hope the circus will stay forever.

There’s a circus of emotions in your heart.
