On the mountaintop...

Come sit with me, my friend
with pen and paper we shall sit
and from such views we shall write
wondrous tales of
Crossing the harsh Rocky Mountains in the dead of winter,
     skeletons along the way their stories untold

Drabble Dare hosted by The Burrow

In January, The Burrow posted a Drabble* Dare contest which I entered and then promptly forgot about *smiles* Fortunately, they didn't forget about me and some weeks later, I received an email from Rayna at Coffee Rings Everywhere saying I should check out their site on the 2nd of February! When I did so I found that, to my surprise, they had posted my drabble! It was too late to post mine to that it coincided with their post so I decided to wait a bit. So without futher ado and in the spirit of the upcoming most romantic of amour filled holidays...

Who gave you your first kiss?” backstage banter has gotten personal. 

“Ummm... I haven’t.” 

“Never?” Eyes wide in disbelief, he gapes at her for a long moment. 

She shakes her head, regretting honesty. 

“Never been kissed, hmm?” His tone changes to that of a hungry tiger. “And we’ve been doing a stage kiss....Tonight, the real thing. Just wait.” 

“Ummm...” 

“So you Maid Marian. Come here.” 

(The audience gasps as he kisses her- as does she) 

“A beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Hopefully we’ll bump into each other again.” 

The young woman is left alone, wordless before her audience. 

Check out The Burrow to read more of the Romantic Drabbles by other Dare takers! There is a romantic drabble (or 2!) for each day of the month!!!
