50 Years Later

I remember pausing on the round of your upper-lip...thinking, surely no round was ever so soft, so finely appealing. Proceeding over the wing like curves to edges, feeling as if in flight, lingering on the lower – a journey of tastes, and longing...and then the parting, and divine probing... Afterwards we laid back, admiring the stars; each sparkle seeming diamonds are indeed forever; each one counted a thousand more burst into view, as would a rocket glitter the night sky at a fair... We were young and knew everything and nothing Several days later our Four Wheel Technology took you from me Time stopping both our hearts....

You excelled in this lovely romantic poem even though it ended sadly. Alas I can relate to that.

Thank you, Victor; life makes us tougher...but there is a tender part of me sorely missed. Blessings my friend.

So wonderfully sensuous, Joe, and travelling from near to far, the lips and the stars. The rocket simile is very effective. Elizabeth

Hi Elisabeth; so pleased you liked the poem. Even with the sad ending, it was fun to write, for the sheer joy from creating feeling poetry. Blessings my friend.

A romantic journey, thanks to the help of your gifted pen. “We were young and knew everythingL” Staying young, is to having the humility to acknowledge that we still, indeed know very little. IMHO. That old saying, Joe is so true! “I WOULD RATHER BE GREEN AND GROWING, THAT RIPE AND ROTTEN.” Panagiota

Yep! I still know nothing, guided mostly by what has worked for me in the past, and even then, only with great caution, prepared to alter course when proven wrong or out of necessity. I don't think any of us really knows anything...though a great many imagine they do. Blessings my friend. Hope the weather is a bit tamer for you.

Sort of like real life.... I think, as light needing dark, forward needing where-was, experience is sun and shadows. Have a beautiful day, Susan.

So sensual, so enticing, and so heart breaking. Joe it seems so real. l guess memories are a small consolation, your poem is very special.

Hi Wen; I write little that I have not experienced in the real world to some extent. Of course, my right to take dramatic, poetic license. Tampering with facts for the better page. I did lose someone very dear to me, to a car accident.

Wow! My heart breaks at the end. A beautiful write.
