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....
