Childhood Memories

This is a poem from my book, "Living with Victory After Past Mistakes."

 

My childhood memories of you

are yesterday.

Yet, I feel your sweet

tender kisses on my lips.

I remember my first Christmas gift,

and I even remember the day

that I broke your heart.

 

I often think about you, but...

now the roles are totally opposites,

Here you are doing all the grown-up things rightly,

while my world is missing you-slightly.

 

I say slightly, but you mean

the world to me...

But back then, I was too grown to see.

 

Now I see that

Six months younger in age

Doesn't make a great difference.

I wanted to be grown before my time,

now I am grown and all alone.

I lost the one love I truly had.

Now that you are grown,

I realize the mistakes I've made.

Unity for us, I just couldn't see, 

and for that

our love will never be.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
