Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Quiver

Once when I was young
      and quite obsessed
with a handsome boy whose heart
      I wished that I possessed,
I caught that young man
      unexpectedly
(his eyes mysterious and dark)
       staring straight at me!

Oh, how very beautiful
       he was.
I'm sure that in that moment
      I must have blushed because
seeing him, I wished for
      just a sliver
of his heart! Just his long gaze
      could make me quiver!

Magic happened each time
      I met his gaze.
He'd leave my workplace; I'd be left
      in a happy daze!
Day after day that boy
       would appear.
My heart would always quicken
      when he was near.

Finally he asked me
       for a date!
Perfect kisses through the night -
       such a blissful fate.
How wonderfully did
        that boy deliver
all that I could ever want
       to make me quiver!

Jennifer Proxenos September 30, 2021 at 10:08 AM We had next door neighbors in Zambia who were Scots, their eldest son and I both 16, madly in love - they were planning to immigrate to Scotland, but Peter would not leave, unless he married me. Our parents, both mine and his, explained this just could not be done, I was in my GCE O level year and then going to Rhodesia to do my A levels. We were both heart broken, puppy love, one thinks they will die but we both survived. Love your poem Andrea. Blessings,hugs, Jenn.

Christuraj Alex September 30, 2021 at 9:32 AM Indeed, a wonderful experience, which I think, in our culture it's taboo for a girl to be so. You're lucky. It's a very beautiful poem full of feelings and free-flowing words and images.

Judy Ball September 29, 2021 at 2:18 PM It's fun to remember old flames and how exciting it was when young. However these memories always make me remember an old saying, "Camp fires in the forest burn brightly and then burn out but hearth fires last longer and are much warmer." Well done Andrea. God Bless, JB
