Notes About The Poem

Image result for bad kisser in car

Trust Me Baby This Is Love

We’ve stopped to park, and it’s no big surprise
you’ve quickly scooted over to my side.
What’s coming next is easy to surmise;
your roaming fingers to my bra strap slide.
 
I move your hands away. At age sixteen,
it’s not my first time in a young man’s car.
I understand what all the signals mean,
but you must know this can’t go very far!
 
Your kisses are not too bad, I admit,
but lacking in finesse, too speedily,
You try to take things farther. Then a fit
you throw. Does this show me that you love me?
 
Just take me home, for I’ve heard plenty of
such tripe as “Trust me baby this is love.”

Matthew 7:25-27 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

Hi Andrea. This is fantastic. I have a granddaughter who's 16, and I'm praying she's as wise and devoted as you were. Thanks for your kind comments. Curtis

I've broken the guy rule concerning girls in my family, I've told them all when they became teenagers that between 13 and 25 all guys lie if you like red they'll like red if you like music they'll like music, they can't help themselves it's just nature...conquest is what drives them...I know I was one of those guys...glad you made it through those times

I am convinced all my teen boyfriends left me because I would not allow them to open my brassiere. It's truly laughable now when I think of my 32A's.

Well you were right. I have been to lover's lanes myself and maybe the best women were the ones who said no. I streamed in A Quiet Passion on the computer for free which you might want to do. I like Emily Dickinson's poetry - especially the line "hope is the thing with feathers" - I think that is the gist of that poem. I liked Wonder Woman as it shows a heroine - like Golda Meir or Joan of Arc.
