Poem Title:
Poem
September of my youth. Romance – a rose - bloomed larger and more beautifully than all other roses I had ever seen or that I’ve yet to ever see again! To gaze on him was heaven, and his eyes would gaze with tenderness into my own. I let my fingers trace his face; his skin was petal-smooth as I inhaled the scent of his cologne. A passion in my soul was flowering! I opened up to him. Red buds were his two lips and kissed with dew! How sweet their taste! That taste I’d never known to be so sweet before that moon-glow night. No thorns had he – at least none I could see. I held him close to me – that long-stemmed rose so elegant! He stirred inside of me a deep and dulcet longing; nonetheless, my innocence remained intact, for I was young, and he was bound to go away back to his native land. How brief our time! It was so brief I did not know it then, but never would the month when I was born come back to me just quite as sweetly as it came that year when I turned seventeen. Oh, precious lost September of my youth. I never would again see moon and stars shine quite as brightly as they did that night inside the eyes of one *beloved rose! *Beloved pronounced with three syllables to keep blank verse.
