INNOCENCE
I am innocence
Staring up at you with a bashful smile
Biting my lower lip
As a curl twists around my finger
Will you kiss me?
I am anxious and eager
You bend
For your mouth to meet mine
I jump up and run
Laughing joyously, hair flying
Bare Toes
Prancing across open fields
Clouds drift slowly overhead
Enveloped in the afternoon sky
Myriad sun sprinkles caress my skin
And you begin the chase
Catch me if you can
– Shelley Langstaff
