CAROL HUGHES - Rascal

Rascal: a word
Desper: short for desperate
Mighty desper is what I feel
A mood unsuited for rascals
Rascals are sunny optimists

Scamps, rascals, imps, elves
Have twinkles in their eyes
A hop-hippity-hop for steps
A swagger as they stride
Noses for the delightful
Pleasure found in the forbidden

Leaves playing with velvety winds
Songs straight from the heart
Two minds, meeting, uniting
The gateway, their eyes
Body molecules indentifying
Love in the day of a rascal

Life embraced by the reveler
Sweetness, innocence, magic
Purity, intensity, freedom to touch
To unfold, to connect with, to love
Can't be for me
Can be
Won't be
Want it to be...
