"The lighting of a magical spark / Igniting requiting flame that day"
Madeleine First Taught Me to French Kiss
Madeleine first taught me to French kiss As we lay in soft grass in the park Under a live-oak alive as we Two then and I cannot forget her Nor any of those glories which were
And I will always remember this The lighting of a magical spark Igniting requiting flame that day A shining day which never grows dark Time will never take that spark away
A very wise girl who left her mark I wrote poems for her way back then And always think of Madeleine when I pass soft grass and a live-oak tree Remembering what she gave to me
She loved my poems then even though I was young and it was long ago If I used to write too formally Neither of us knew any better Nor were we formal personally
She was Anglican and did not mind A skillfully-tongued formality It was on Shrove Tuesday I met her Pancakes in the parish hall and tea She was beautiful though love is blind
And I will always remember this: Madeleine first taught me to French kiss
