of memories

dust mop dancin'

by Emily Sun

let's go back, you an me
dance with me, i'll twirl with the dust mop
and you'll laugh and pick dust out of my hair and say i'll never be old

let's go back, you an me
record me stealthily when i sing obscenely-loud songs in the shower
and play them over and over and over as i blush different shades of fire

let's go back, you an me
tickle me while i'm tryin' to play hopscotch
as i beg for mercy between gasps and giggles and threaten to wet my pants

let's go back, you an me
take me for never-ending piggy back rides, pretendin' i'm flyin'
then dump me on the dewy grass, make me laugh because you're laughing

let's go back, you an me
i'll push you in the fountain and you'll grin
and pull me in with you, we'll float on our backs
ignorin' the stares
and watch night fall in little pieces, here and here
except for in your eyes, which blind me

let's go back, you an me
paint sloppy, clumsy kisses on my cheeks
and make stupid looking necklaces out of sparkly plastic beads you know ill never wear

let's go back, you an me
whisper in my ear forever
so that now i can hear you in my head
and smile smiles that don't reach my eyes
and dance with the dust mop pretendin' that it's you

you

your desk is cluttered

with stuff

that you're made of

earthy smells,wines, bluebells

and sunshines that lighten up my heart

....

(my heart has found a new home)

of conversations

me - i'm not like other girls who left. i'm never gonna leave you if you keep me close to your heart and tell me so everyday

him - is that a warning ? :P

;)

of poems read

a kiss, the kind girls remember

is not a kiss of measured bliss,

perfect in its timeliness;

it's the one that leaves your heart undone,

a far from perfect hit-and-run

that isn't great until redone

----------------------------------------

we guys remember kisses too,

and how badly we desired to

hit and run, but then we'd rue

we didn't stay and follow through

while the movie runs

you look at me askance

wanting to touch my hands;

and more..

(i'm lying in surrender)

oh your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile

:)
