What I Miss Most From My Youth

What I miss most from my youth
The spontaneous, combustible
Unaccountable insanity to
Will, thrill myself and others
To heights and planes
We cannot see
Or ever see again.

Thx...here's a glimpse into the name (when I first used it in a blog, now inactive, about 6 yrs ago): the nom de plume of Suburban Lovechild -- on one hand, demographic familiarity and comfort, and on the other, the glowing darkness of forbidden yet unregrettable love.
