first love (Remove filter)
First and Last
I last saw your face, on the last day of school
I spent many a year just playing the fool
My heart it still wanders to hot Sumner days
I remember your feel in passionate haze
Your hand in mine, the feeling so light
As hot teenage passion develops at night.
Innocence lost at the hands of a boy
Your cheeks shone rosy, your smile so coy
Inseparable, strong, an eternal bond
I last saw...

he doesn't text me anymore
i think to be unloved is to be damned.
for a while i thought myself damned.
can you really be damned at 16?
i gave him two cigarettes this time,
and offered another two.
he smoked them till the tips of his fingers burned,
i wanted to place them on my lips.
suck them, kiss them, cool them.
i sat across from him, nursing one drink, careful with my teeth and my brow.

First For Everything
Something that breaks my heart a little.
You were my first.
My first date.
My first “relationship”… a real one.
My first time staying at a boys house.
My first time on drugs.
My first Christmas that wasn’t with my own family.
My first real experience of love.
But for you, you’ve just done it all again.
Just another one to add to the list.
If you remember your firs...

Virgin Summer Night
Nothing assaults the senses like the chill air of a summer's evening,
Forearm follicles as erect as a pubescent boy's expectation of his young penis
Or nipples hardening through your silken blouse.
The smell of summer love when two bodies collide in passion
It has the warmth of the day yet exacerbated and put to fire by your sensual touch,
Sweat from our movements and desire...

things one can't forget
things one can’t forget
I remember my first sight of you
sitting at a table in the library
bright blue eyes sparkling
with excitement and wonder
but that was many years ago
when I fell in love with you
at first sight
not yet knowing
your name, I knew I would know
it soon
and softly brush my
fingers over your lovely eyes
while I snuggl...

Every Night Before I Go To Bed
Every night, before I go to bed,
I see the moon and his face,
I see the illuminous light of the moon take a heart shape,
I see the moon, his face within,
I see the smile on it,
I see the comfort behind it.
I see the hope that flows within my mind,
I see the dream that comes alive.
Believe me lord, I do wonder a lot,
As what would happen if I put the moon in a pot,
Keeping it with me fo...

Thoughts' Pool
Lost...
Lost into the pool of thoughts,
Thoughts of him with me...
Me, standing here for him,
Him, trying to make sense out of life...
Life, playing a pity game with us,
Us, still in love, deep love,
Love, may face lack of time,
Time will fly in a jiffy,
Jiffy, a moment of him & mine,
Mine, he will be...
Be forever!

Love Happens
Love happens when you least expect it.
When you have your eyes closed and are looking in the opposite direction.
Love happens even when you shun it.
Even when you curse it from the pits of hell love happens.
Love happens and it knows why it came and how long it plans to stay.
When it happens it takes you by storm
Love happens and with no words
Love happens and when it does

True Love
Beauty is something that I thought I knew until my eyes took yours in
Tenderness was just a thought until I felt your touch
I never knew how it felt to be complete until I held you in my arms
True love was just a wish until God brought you into my life

Song for Laura Lee
Laura Lee, she was my first love
tangled in her parents’ bedsheets
and shadows from the attic window
With my army-surplus shirt
slipping from her shoulders
Laura Lee, she was my first love
my first taste of intimacy
her loving hands upon me
guiding that desire, so deftly
through our discovery and naivety
Laura Lee, she was my first love
our fumbled teenage kisses
quickly blossomed ...

Pain
I was reading a story
When i felt a sudden spark of pain in my heart
I was feeling like someone was piercing needles deep inside my soul
It was unbearable and tears were rolling down
I closed my eyes, it was all dark
And then i saw you
I tried opening my eyes but I couldn’t
Because deep inside I still wanted to see you for maybe one last time even when nothing was real
B...

GW Park 9/15/19
I loved looking at him
the way his eyes crinkled at the sight of the sun
our white shoes getting messy in the sand
The sound of the lake water hitting the shore line
No communication just sounds of nature filling our ears
She loved him more than she could fathom
But he was too busy to notice
So she took screenshots with her mind
to remember his face and the way she f...

Your Light, Our Youth
The strength of your light
catches me unguarded
how brightly you shine
blooming brilliantly
how welcome
how confusing to me
The confidence of your glow
magnetic from all angles
I'm softened in the shadows
but your light does not permit them
so welcome
so challenging to me
Brighter than in our youth
brighter still than photographs
we talk and take a new one
twenty years since the...

Dawn
I’ll never forget the day that I met Dawn from Didcot.
Her eyes like pools of fire, all watery and bloodshot.
I found her reminiscent of all of the four seasons.
For a very wide and varied number of notable reasons.
She was Reminiscent of Spring time, of April showers and dew.
Because every time she Shpoke, she shpat all over you.
She reminded me of Winter, of icic...

Truly Beloved Customer Care
Dear Truly Beloved Customer Care
I have a small problem with one of your wares
I’m not after a new one or a replacement spare
Just wondered if this one is not beyond repair
In Ninety-One you gave me this heart
Which really was awfully sweet
I wasn’t too smart, broke it apart
How I’ve tried to make it complete
Yet now I fear, after 23 years, it appears
I have cocked up it...

Life After Love
I crave a long talk with you
The kind where we sit in your car at 1 a.m. and tell
eachother about our hopes and dreams
hoping for a better future and begging for a fresh start
I miss the nights where we kicked it in my basement
when you not only played my guitar but my heart
when you told me you were scared of what was coming next
and I told you I believed in you
I lon...

Trouble, Truth, and Reality
Fancy, free, doing whatever I please and not giving a f$ck about the consequence of my actions. I ran into trouble and I think I liked it. Chocolate fire. Wild and crazy, full of fun a laughter. We laughed and grew over the years. He gave me a glimpse of what a boyfriend could be. I left for school and he bounced in and out of lock down. Not quite what I wanted, but at that point I didn’t even kno...

The Mayfly Dance
The Mayfly Dance
It snowed on Christmas Eve
Nineteen Seventy Six
But that was later.
Earlier we had all met up
In our favourite student pub
Everyone under age and eager
The girls in cheesecloth shirts
And tight fitting Levis
The boys sporting long hair and moustaches
We didn’t look Seventeen
As we chose the jukebox plays
Of Zeppelin, Skynyrd ...

Save some love for yourself
All I ever wanted was to be all that someone needed
