Hai (love)ku

Moonlight on soft hair
Young lovers stand in the shadows
Now the game begins

Standing hand in hand
Eyes anywhere but her breasts
Hoping he won’t faint

Whisper nonsense words
How nice her hair looks tonight
Just to keep her there

She smiles in the dark
Shyly leaning in to him
Hands upon his chest

Heart stuck in his throat
Hands slide down to her waistline
Should he close his eyes

Breathe Brian, just breathe
Act now or your chance is gone
Kiss her, kiss her now

Porch light snapping on
Saddened lovers leap apart
Handshake and she’s gone
