Long Teen love Poems

Heat Lightening
by Michael R. Burch

Each night beneath the elms, we never knew
which lights beyond dark hills might stall, advance,
then lurch into strange headbeams tilted up
like searchlights seeking contact in the distance . . .

Quiescent unions...

Smoke
by Michael R. Burch

The hazy, smoke-filled skies of summer I remember well;
farewell was on my mind, and the thoughts that I can't tell
rang bells within (the din was in) my mind, and I can't say
if...

Around the corner 
Of the unpaved driveway
Was a claustrophobic shack

The front door 
Was once a cherry red
Like his father's 1968 Cadillac

My car door 
echoed 
As my heels stumbled across the driveway

Caught my balance on the...

Last night, I had a dream.
A dream of you and I.
You were gorgeous and shy,
While I was loving and kind.

We watched a play and had dinner,
Laughter rang through the air.
We slept in the same bed,
We...

I heard a voice across the road
A girl from class I hardly knew
Not just “Hello”
But “Hello Chris”
Two words where maybe
Just one would do

It was Joy Pepper
Smoky grey eyes
And a smile so warm I’m sure
That it...

EARLY POEMS XXI - JUVENILIA

Dance With Me
by Michael R. Burch

(circa age 18)

Dance with me
to the fiddles’ plaintive harmonies.
Enchantingly,
each highstrung string,
each yearning key,
each a thread within the threnody,
bids us, "Waltz!"
then sets us free
to wander, dancing aimlessly.

Let...

It was a quick exchange….
one glance and it was as i’ve known him my whole life
It was a quick touch
One touch that kept me up every single night 
THE YOUTH OF MY UNREQUITED INFATUATION..
The thing...

Just another Romeo and Juliet love 
By Michelle Morris

Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh...

Just another Romeo and Juliet love
Just another love story that wouldn't die
Just another teenage drama saga
Just another sad, sad goodbye 

Just another teenage heartbreak
Just another secret...

They were seventeen, and had fallen soulfully and fully in...

Dream of a world,
Where there is peace.
No girls,
That admit to defeat.

You can walk on water,
Not worrying of drowning.
You can open your locker,
And look around see no one frowning.

I walk up to you.
I study your face.
I...

To this girl

But my sixth sense was overpowered by the hearts need to love

The perfect dime to my ninety which completes me...

beat dropped with a dubbing sound,
I knew I made a mistake,

I walked into room 4 and find 
out that the people therein are 
quiet...

It was a smile, simply,
that would absolve me of my virtue ...
a whiter-than-white allure of the unexplored.

Barely a teen, I was mesmerized by her sublime sway -
distant, yet she followed the puerile anguish of my...

One thundering Thursday, in a thicket of trees I had thought I had thunk a real thought.
I was thinking deeply, when alas, creepily, a thought appeared, jeering at the tip of my tongue.
It said “At...

POTW 1 Oct 2018

Gossip about her
swept the school yard through
“Hey if you’ve got what it takes 
There’s this girl named Sue
For a pack of smokes
or a drink or two
She’ll kiss you ~ she’ll please you

She was just a regular girl
Not different or unlike any other
But lived in a fairytale world
And dreamed like no other.
 
She set herself faithfully apart
Unavailable for anyone else
And waited from the start
For her prince nonetheless.
