A Perfect Date
Shooting stars gliding across their stage, the sky
silver sparks against a midnight blue
a boat carrying us across the gentle ripples of the lake
little sprays of water showering us
the air adding to our conversations
the soft whistle of its coolness
enveloping our bodies in an embrace
a lone candle contrasting the pools of moonlight
casting shadows of gold on our faces
lit up by jokes and laughter
An orchestra of frogs and birds
singing offkey in unison
and water lilies with their
blooms open listening to our conversations
Both of us sitting face to face
our hands holding symbolizing a tryst
and finally a beautiful symphony playing
out of a small music box
