Childish Plays

by LadyPearl   Oct 19, 2006


A rhythmic beat on the ground;
Two little red knobs,
Turning, spinning over again.
While a smile; such a sweet smile,
Painted upon plump, young cheeks.

Throughout time this rope swung,
Like a pendulum of a clock.
Ignorant of the passing time;
Trying to linger just a bit more,
Till finally the threads became limp.

A child no longer; dreams to be free.
Suddenly empowered by shadows of laws
Feeling for the first, rising cheeks of shame,
Knowing just right now, everything was a play ,
