Tenth of the 13: I melted in your arms

tiniest of ducklings 

in multitudes float

as snowflakes in an

early spring flurry

the sun and flowers return

and you shine

in your beauty and glory

I am fortunate and grateful

to behold you in Apollo's grace

at a fair of art and jewelry 

we pass through the stalls 

of various crafts and wares

with music in the air

our friend almost asks

me to dance as the song

reminds her of a tv show

but we look at each other

and agree in our eyes 

to take to the dancefloor

ourselves

moving slowly together

my hands take to your shoulders

in your striped shirt

you tell me I was looking lonely

when I was sitting across from you

I reply that I could melt in your arms

the clock then reads 3:37 am
