Round A Round the Roses

Just something random ^-^

I look at you, and you at me...

laughing and playful banter... while our hands crept towards each other

Moving across the vast distance of the table...

a millimetre at a time, barely moving at all

 

There! Suddenly! The touch of your skin on mine

 

All the awkwardness melting away, bring me back to the days of olden

Of fair folks watching over us play in the secret place of ours...

Do you remember? A memory flashes in my mind’s eye

 

Flashes and yet branded... as new as the fresh dewdrop at dawn

 

A moving picture of a boy and a girl

laughing, playing... reaching for each other’s hand without hesitation

Of distances crossed in an instant, of trust and openness

 

Twirling round in circles, sure of each other not letting go

“Round a round the roses”... leafs playing in the whirl of wind kicked up

“pocket full of posies”... freshly picked flowers falling out, marking a trail

Out of breath now “...and we all fall down”

collapsing in a pile of laughter

 

A smile on my lips now, I move to hold your hands surely

a silent realisation... We are still dancing the same dance
