>It’s a wide land ahead of us
rolling hills
and fields ready for harvest
I don’t talk a lot today
just enjoy the sun
and your strong presence
as you bike next to me
We play uphill bike games
catch me if you can
I can’t
and we laugh
and you talk
and I’m in a dreamy mood
You have a chocolate ice cream
and we sit down on a bench
and I kiss you
your lips taste of summer and salty sweat
and your tongue tastes of chocolate and hidden mysteries
and I wish we could go on and on
biking – gaming – having ice cream
and taste and savor each others presence
This poem is for one shot wednesday - a new gathering place for poets and writers
