Under 25 Poetry Asia and Oceania Contest #1 – First Place
by Diya Ujual
Won't you let me follow your lead Trace edges of our marble floor Search for your eyes in flickering candlelight Our ankles touch, one, two, three, four Twist, turn, spin and dip Your shoulders, my anchor My waist, your harbour Bent knees, a sailing waltz In air, the ballet of balance Slow steps, tiptoed into a fading interlude Gramophone humming Swan's Song A tango into the finale of goodbye
