The Turn
The Turn


I turn the turn and look for you
A child looking at a picture riddle,
Eyes searching for the hidden man
And win the coveted prize
The turn where walking fingers locked
We had emerged one day, quietly
From the winding lanes in the green
Knowing suddenly we had to part ways
The turn where you told me to go
Nudging gently, silently coaxing with
A gentle pat on the small of my back
And then stood still till I disappeared
Its is still there, the green, and the lanes
But the touch in the small of my back
And you; my coveted prize are lost,
Yet, I turn the turn and look for you.
