Can you smell the jasmine blossom?
Feel its baby pink freckles taunting us.
Me and you.
Our feet wrapped up in brown paper.
Fragile and new.
Look upwards the sky is bending to greet us,
dreams flying high with the kites.
Free apart from me,
balancing the weight of your feet
with mine, tipped towards gravity.
The apple sliding from your mouth
with my hands cupped ready to catch.

'Our feet wrapped up in brown paper.

-absolutely adore this image Beeme! And the final two lines remind me of the cafeteria scene in 'Twilight' when Edward catches Bella's apple - I'm such a fan girl hehe well done on this one!

I completely missed this one, Beeme. It is a little gem and well worthy of its cherry.
