Blind Trust

Open terrace No parapet You hug me tight Blindfold me tighter Game dangerous But I don’t care Why??? You’re here ‘Step back' And you start the count One, two, three, four….. I remember “How you rain kisses on me Even more” ‘Stop…….’ I freeze Can feel the cold breeze Mixing with sweat beads But confident The way you guide and lead 'Step forward' Five, six, seven….. Slow, gingerly pace But my thoughts race “Our blissful togetherness Akin to heaven” ‘Now turn left and continue' Eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve I wonder….. “By now all your doubts quelled?” I lose concentration I stagger You scream, rush frantically And lunge After all It was a thirty feet plunge You pull me back From the brink We sink Into each-other's arms I wonder….. “Have your doubts been replaced by calm?” You hold me tight ‘I’ll never let you go' I nod, 'I know' You unfold me I look into your eyes A choking whisper ‘I trust you, you see!’
