Omen


When wavelets curl along the pier
To cast a light in shades of teal,
I then recall a summer bold
Which wrote about our truth,  our dare

And young we were ...a bliss reviewed
The wildest lips moist as night's crest
A passion christening one dream
While moonglow blessed this warm request.

We siezed fresh thirst, moments entwined
Where jays in June acted  like hosts
Yet bad omen of clouds grew stark,
More vicious than a thunder's wail.

So now I watch shore's reverie
The pier much older than love past;
A time when seventeen grew still
Held by this gentle gentle heart.

One minute you're seventeen, Lips moist, bodies lost to lust. Then it happens, along comes another, redder lips, available. It wasn't to be, and life moves on, and you wonder where it went. In saying that. He might be gay now, or in a crap relationship.
