Maiden in Waiting
How you blush
before the kiss of faint light
that promises to burn brightly soon
and give you reason to hide.
Your face upturned
to drink in the new light
of burgeoning season’s first
glimmer of urging.
Soon you will tire of
dancing in the light; and,
shedding your petticoats will
shiver, naked on the wood.
Summer’s heat doth make
an exhibitionist where
once stood a bashful bloom;
but do not hide from view.
For we all shall shed our
garments in delight when
finally that golden orb awakes
to melt our frozen dreams.
We shall dance over your
cast off finery, thinking
ourselves grand as the velvet
pink caresses our tender toes.
Pink carpet for lover’s and
children to dream upon
while they await the golden
kiss of Summer’s Daffodil.
Yaaay!! Spring is on the way!
