Chapter three – met Him Indoors with a twirl

It was the day you said hello
First thing in the morning that was
The lab you were about to show
We were introduced, then a pause

First thing in the morning that was
I was the new girl in the lab
We were introduced, then a pause
City was a bit of a drab

I was the new girl in the lab
And you were such a gentleman
City was a bit of a drab
You showed it to me like a fan

And you were such a gentleman
Showered me all your attention
You showed it to me like a fan
With friends, we had a lot of fun

Showered me all your attention
Till the last day of the training
With friends, we had a lot of fun
And from a distance, love we bring

Till the last day of the training
Two years later we got married
And from a distance, love we bring
After thirty years, love we lead

Two years later we got married
The lab you were about to show
After thirty years, love we lead
It was the day you said hello*

* The pantoum

Our midnight in the oasis
We met, laugh, like a poem in ryhthm
On the ground and feeling the sands on our body
Ritual on regular basis

Basis of love and loyalty
Like a gift that our elders have taught us
Turning each other the best we could ever be
In nature with our deity

Deity we swear until we die
Whatever happens we’ll be with each one
Respect and being truthful play important parts
All other rules also apply

Apply romance, send me flowers
No tongue in cheek, nor dishonesty
With the moon and the stars as our witness
In the oasis, midnight – ours**

** The RemyLa Rhyme Form

The still of the night
Waiting for my knight
To rescue me from all this
There’s still some hope
I know I can cope
He came and gave me a kiss
My heart comes alive
Like dancing a jive
I’m all yours, my Romeo!

This week’s photo prompt is provided by Yinglan. Thank you Yinglan!

Spill me your heart
Can’t take it when we’re apart
Spill me your soul
You came and my heart stole
Spill me your compassion
I’m all yours with affection
Spill me your emotion
You woke my whole being with passion
Spill me your love

my heart goes to you
I hear rhythm of your soul
together they beat
praising its sweetness and love
swaying, gleaming, full of hope

oh to be in love
everything is rosy
no problem at all
we’ll face the world together
hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder

The air cools and the crickets sing
The lights dance, too by the canal
Welcoming me in open arms
I’ve learned my lessons, hope’s not late

I’ve been through a lot of journeys
The air cools and the crickets sing
Went through all the seasons of life
From the bridge comes the reflection

Will he be there waiting for me?
Will he be glad to see me back?
The air cools and the crickets sing
Life’s strange but I know I’m back

Geraniums on their balconies
Some people are just waking up
As the wind paddles up and down
The air cools and the crickets sing***
