Andrea Dietrich Poet Quatern

Touch and Go

Our romance was but touch and go
since first time I ever did see
your face. I’m sure mine was aglow.
Some magic spell you cast on me!

Days later I went out with you.
Our romance was but touch and go.
Nobody that I ever knew
had shown me the things you could show.

Your kisses were so sweet and slow -
down my neck; all over my face!
Our romance was but touch and go.
I shone within from your embrace.

One night then it all had to end.
You needed to leave. Even though
you live on in poems I’ve penned,
our romance was but touch and go!

Victor Buhagiar April 7, 2021 at 11:57 PM Magic can have that effect for often it is short lived.

Harry Horsman April 7, 2021 at 10:05 PM Love the Title and how you wrote this so well, the mystical experience of that first touch followed by the sadness of it floating away.

Sotto Poet April 7, 2021 at 6:51 PM It's good to have memorable moments, as well as to be reminded of them, Great write, Andrea, have a wonderful evening.

Judy Ball April 7, 2021 at 5:13 PM Nicely done Andrea. It's nice to have sweet memories and sometimes you have to crank the old car a few times before she starts. In other words you kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince. Good write. God Bless, JB

Kim Rodrigues April 7, 2021 at 4:31 PM I love this, Andrea! Ooh la la the 3rd verse! ;)

Sara Kendrick April 7, 2021 at 4:15 PM Ahh!! It seems sad it was only a temporary time. They say it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara
