Commentary
"Some words are never spoken.
Some things are never done.
If we could forget our manners
just once......

If I called for you,
what would you do?"

 ['Eye Dance' - Comsat Angels].

 Dine with me, Melanie.

Venture to step into the twilight.

Girl & boy

trying to be grown up,

meet face to face tonight

I hoped to live my fantasy.

How impatiently I waited for you.

Close you came,

draping yourself round my neck.

My arms encircle your waist.

Then my hands slide

down to your backside.

Will you let them stay?

or will you pull away?

I feel you melt into my caress,

searching beneath your dress

for your warmth,

wanting so much, you & I

Aching days,

lonely nights,

waking at 4,

for weeks of waiting.

Anger from frustrated years

dissolves when I see your tears. 

Oh please forgive me

for my naivety.

We both got hurt

but flowers grow from the dirt.

What seemed so wrong

instead can make us strong.

So shall we take this glorious chance?

Come and dance.

Dance with me, Melanie.

(Kajol,  Rani Mukherjee, Nandita Das, Manisha Koirala)

A foolish man stumbles through transferring sublime fantasy to a clumsy reality, discovering how squirmingly awkward the chasm can be - yet the fantasy lives on.

I thought a list of my favourite Bollywood actresses would make for interesting backing vocals........
