Coaxed To Grow

Coaxed to Grow


Oh, how wonderfully innocent
and juvenile, 'twas for me.
You, scooting surreptitiously.
closer and closer to me.
Like a soft, gentle caterpillar, 
slithering and smiling, 
Making its way home in the
still of the night.



I clutched my lovely, flowered
handkerchief.
Then my gold cross with a 
sparkling aqua gem upon it.
Really, wanting to not say, no.
My blue eyed Tommy boy.



In the Elmwood Park Spring we
were about to kiss.
Fireflies came to celebrate this
celebratory bliss.
When we were moving beyond
flirtation.

It was as though heaven were
sending particles of stars, 
To bless the softness of this
sacred night.
Of huge elm tress, your strong 
arms about me.
Finally, those soft, tender lips.

There in God's silent moonlight, 
One of my first teenage kisses, did alight.
