My eyes twinkle as I daydream,
in mute movies of both of us.
We participate in mundane rituals.
But, we know why it’s meaningful.
This is our uncensored tale.
Hair covering face, head down,
watery eyes glazed over and a slight smile.
Hands extended outwards; feeling the chill.
I wonder when you will touch me.
Like two kids meeting at the playground would.
I’m wearing your favorite dress.
As I tip toe on unused railroad tracks.
A sunny day with the wind gently blowing.
I’m not surviving anymore; I’m living.
This is paradise on earth.
With one finger, you run it down both my lips.
Such a gesture is nectar to my system.
Water to quench my thirst, sugar to rejuvenate.
You kiss me as I capture the image.
Another photograph to serve as testimony.
We move our bodies side to side,
in a circular motion of harmony.
A love song plays in the background.
We admit that we can’t dance.
But, it gives us an excuse to be in each other’s arms.
You drive in an open road; fast.
All the windows are down, music blasting.
I stick out and let the wind engulf me.
Then I scream as loud as I can.
As I say goodbye to the old me; it’s time to be happy.
Playing a videogame, laying in bed,
staring, caressing, holding hands while walking.
All that and more will bring me to paradise earth.
A place where lovers reside to be young forever.
No problems to solve; just bliss.
I want to be present-oriented with you.
Without the petty social casualties.
Trivial baggage and game-play.
Let’s be naïve, untainted, and innocent.
Most especially, let’s be unbound.
I have unknown cuts upon my body.
My essence is contaminated; aching.
I don’t need patching-up.
I need an antidote to make me forget; let go.
I’m a scattered porcelain doll; pick me up.
My eyes twinkle as I daydream,
in mute movies of both of us.
We participate in mundane rituals.
But, we know why it’s meaningful.
This is our uncensored tale.
I grab the camcorder and tell you to say hi.
It’s our first date and I’m wearing a dress.
That is now your favorite dress on this sunny day.
This is my chance to leave my past behind.
Starting anew with an optimistic view.

This was very short, but there was a lot of emotion hidden between each word. It was a good write.
