Dare We Poem by Amanda Tams

Side by side in the full moonlight, looking up in wonder
Shoulders rubbing, breaths, mingling hands begin to wander
Daringly we looked together, would we really dare…
No one about we can try, there seem no eyes to stare.

Hand in hand we start to hide away from the moonlit sky
We really want to do this, but we are feeling rather shy
Should we in this moonlight, try to recapture our youth?
He takes his shoes and socks off, I am excited now in truth…

His pants come down, I kook aghast, “they cost a lot” I heard him say. My shoes and jacket I remove, deciding it's time to play
He takes me by the hand; our bodies mingle and turn together
We feel so young this moonlit night with its outstanding weather.

His legs shine white, silhouetted against the moonlit sky
Now is the time, there's no one here, I am not letting this pass me by.
Up and down, slowly, carefully, his body looks so lean
I can’t believe we are sneaking a go our neighbour’s new trampoline...
