Just one summer like no other
that is what it was !
You and I across the field
playing like wild children
in the playground of my heart !
Here and there, everywhere
we were
angels soaring o'er daises
un-plucked* breathing *
Rain or shine, we were always together
drenched in sunlight we were poetry
As we lay softly on the
summer grass
the heady scent of flowers clothed us,
even rain could not wash away
the inhale of our innocence,
It was a summer like no other
the summer when we first met ,
I TOOK A MINUTE TO THINK BACK, ROSE...! I WAS ALMOST GOING TO SAY...THERE WAS NO 'PUPPY LOVE' FOR ME. BUT THEN, I REMEMBERED! THE BOY WHO LIVED DOWNSTAIRS, OF COURSE...FIRST LOVE, OVER THE SUMMER. ALL ASPHALT THOUGH...WE LIVED IN THE URBAN CITY, BUT THE LIGHT OF 'YOUNG INNOCENT LOVE', THAT HAD A SHORT LIFESPAN, WAS THERE! THANKS FOR THIS PROVOKER OF GOOD AND LOVELY, UNSTAINED CHILDHOOD MEMORIES WHICH WERE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN. ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
One that I never had myself. But wish I had.
