The Color of Adventure

 

 

Dressed in pink, she said "hello."

He said "my name is Kai.

I don't like pink, and I don't remember you."

 

She just smiled and twirled and said

"hey, don't be such a surly boy

hey, you're such a pretty boy

you and I could rule the world."

 

More like 'rue' he thought in his head

but he couldn't look away

instead her looked her in the eye

and asked her "what's your name?"

 

"What's in a name" she laughed out loud

"call me what you like.

Just take my hand and follow me

adventure awaits, if you're not afraid."

 

He folded his arms across his chest

and said "I'm not afraid of you."

But his defiance was just an act

he knew he wouldn't walk away.

 

She fluffed her skirt and inched closer

"you don't trust me," she said with a pout.

"But I can make you believe

kiss me and you will see how important I am."

 

Her lips touched his, he didn't back away

and he knew his life would never be the same

as she whispered in his ear:

"welcome to my world."
