Premium Member May's Shy Kiss
Blades whisper
as I walk the grass
Impatiens blush

behind lavender

As dawn peeks
above roof tops

touches my cheek
and May's shy kiss
brushes
my silent lips

On her roller coaster
Her mind covered with peaceful memories
The smile on her face
Could tell the whole stories
Closed her eyes every time...
