My entry for this week's Three Word Wednesday. The words were: Juggle, Fawn and Navigate.
You: juggling two bright scarlet strawberries
Me: aggravating a tall can of whipped cream
Impish sparks in our eyes
Under the filtered sunlight from the window
I attack, covering in gleaming sweet whiteness
Your dark, fawn-coloured skin
I squeal, you quieten me with an assault
Sour fruit juice trickling down my berry lips
Faster than summer sweat
Guiltlessly, like the children we are
Along soiled kitchen counters, sheets, towels

Sour fruit juice trickling down my berry lips
Faster than summer sweat
Guiltlessly, like the children we are
Along soiled kitchen counters, sheets, towels
We navigate a path
To some blissful alternate universe
Like explorers with magic maps and grand plans
We escape the realm of time
--For Raa and Di. You know this poem was written for you.
