The Fingertip Waltz
December 12, 2010
Fingertips dance
Along stomachs and spines
Sweeping and swirling
In circles and lines
They giggle and wrestle
Their bright smiles linger
Til he grabs her wrist
With lightning fast fingers
Palm meets palm, cheeks flush
And heartbeats are racing
Their giggles slowly fade
As fingers start lacing
Their bodies curl closer
While gaps and fingers align
Green gazing into brown
Nothing else on their minds
His thumb softly strokes
To trace knuckle bones
They begin to chat casually
In soft, lowered tones
The fingertips waltz
Across palms they are reeling
And though they say nothing
Revel in unspoken feeling
