I started a trend Since hearing a word Laid eyes on a friend A sense caught me reeling No putting back in My eyes stealing jaffas Down cinema aisle My hands itched to hold Secured under thighs I smiled uncontrollably In all the sad scenes Mind danced the tango In moments serene I dared ask another Calendar moment A hug and a whisper Dazed in her glow Nonsensical laughs Happy cry the way home Pouring heart out To a friend On the phone Like a Kinder surprise A taste and a trinket Never too old For love's sinking feeling
