Ian D. Campbell Poet Free verse

Amber Memories

You were with 
this girl.

I was with 
this man. 

And we met
Despite our
Promises to them. 

Your eyes were
Aflame and your beard
was long. 

I was bashful
At first. 
 
Until you put
Cold beer
Between my legs. 

And I returned
For a second visit. 

Always wanting more
of what I cannot 
and should not have.

It was that first gaze
Which made me believe
I'd always remember
And always be wanting
You.
