Where to Now?

Where to now?
We tried the laughing mirrors,
Your face and mine, twisted
And merged as we giggled,
Your pout magnified
Against my frown.

Where to now?
We warred against us,
Virtual swords and dragons,
Your babble against
My silence.
We warred against us.

Where to now?
Pick the card of luck,
Destiny and fate in a cup,
Pink, yellow, blue or purple?
He shifts lightning between
His fingers.
Go on, pick our card of luck.

Where to now?
Five notes to reach the sky,
In a circle, again and again,
Music in our heads,
Wind in our hair,
Your confession against mine.
Just five notes.

Where to now?
A raindance, perhaps,
Water that breaks through
Our barriers.
Lights and drops of desire,
Disclosure through rhythm.
A raindance, perhaps.

Where to now?
Another rollercoaster?
You already have me spinning,
Promise you'll hold my hand,
When it gets blurry and hazy,
Promise to laugh your heart out,
To assure you're right next to me.
It's just another rollercoaster.

Where to now?
All moisture robbed by passing air,
All things unsaid bouncing the line,
Your hands juggling
My flimsiness,
There must be something
That holds us together.

Where to now?
I'll wait forever,
If that's what it takes,
This brown gate my very home,
Hanging by the thread
Of your conflict.
I'll wait forever.

Oh wow! That's lovely... I love the sense of absoluteness (if that's a word!) that this has :)
