A Christmas Gift

This entry is for Friday 5 at Poefusion. The five words are: duple, scheme, vintage, harbor and cease.

there in the glass window
a duple rainbow
in purple and silver
blinding her with desire

she press her hands against the glass
eyes widening
harboring a longing for them
ceasing to calm down from the high

she glance over at him
with a scheming look in her eyes
his head shaking "no"

"but it's vintage" she said softly
her palms form sweat prints on the glass
as he slowly pulls her away
her eyes still on them

a week passed by
and christmas came

arriving in her hands
a blue box with white ribbons
inside a pair of earrings
purple and silver
like she wanted
she glance up at him with a confuse look

"but it's vintage" he said
a smile forming on his lovely face
as he place a kiss upon her
leaving his love on her lips
she glance up at him
beaming with joy

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.

I use the What Others are Saying plug-in: http://www.stuffbysarah.net/blog/wordpress-plugins/what-others-are-saying/
I don't know how you could do it on Blogger, though.

I will add you to my blogroll tonight! :-)

Sweet indeed. I love stories of surprise especially one's where she isn't expecting the gift she wanted. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
