When We Woke, Suddenly Thinking We Had Died and Went To Heaven

When We Woke, Suddenly Thinking We Had Died And Went To Heaven O' that aroma, jasmine fragrance from her hair She virgin goddess I an uninformed young lad Her beauty was so golden nothing else compares Thought why the hell not , she mine, I sure ain't that bad And to think that they too are so willing to share Fate was happy camper that day, she became mine The guys messed with me dating a college grad June was hot, not near as my honey on the vine Now comes our breakup remembrance, so very sad Early seventies, beauty all over the place And gals started asking we girl hungry boys out The ladies dressing so sexy with barbie doll faces So many clueless to know what sex was about! All those pretty gals with fantastic killer bods Quite maddening when a young man first faces it Knew, knew so damn well we were blessed by the Gods A miracle so many scored quick, direct hits To be healthy, strong and eagerly on the prowl Walking in a newfound paradise, our nightly wins Each of us screaming, like an echoing wolf's' howl None of us worrying about right, wrong or sins! Robert J. Lindley, Rhyme January 22nd 1974, EDITED 6-11- 2023 Note: I was right in the middle of the hippie revolution ( new sexual revolution) the much, much more free sex coming from the gals. It felt like paradise had came to us. As I look back now, I see my many blunders and how much better I should have acted. We in the flesh humans are also living proof that it is easy to be hog-wild when the pretty gals cut loose too!

Can any of us really be completely happy with our past, especially when drinking partying and meeting pretty girls, I always thought I’d look back and say what the hell, I enjoyed myself, and I did! but always through excess, your poem is an honest reflection of a wonderful coming of age era, if I could do teenage all over again I’d probably choose California in the 60s/70s, rather than Ireland in the 80s/90s, although I agree with Pangie, so many of the kids out there now are totally messed up and perhaps being groomed as to what gender they should adopt, by the way Robert did I not mention I totally enjoyed this one, cheers David

Thank you very much David. I see that you an I think much alike. I have Irish blood in me on my father's side. Irish, Danish, Native American, English, Scottish, Viking blood in my veins. California was completely different back then. A once truly great little paradise. Now its not so fair, imho. You couldn't pay me to go live there. Especially in its big cities. God bless.

Hi Robert, I love you being so darn honest! But please do not brown yourself. We all learned during those years to learn, is not evil. The times we live in now are far more evil, and have been so ever since that’s all began. Maybe killing, transgender, sex, and marching for all of this? Plane crazy! Hatred of God hatred of church, hatred of Christians is all in full swing.! You were not evil nor are you now. There’s plenty of evil supported under the site, sometimes I just want to cry. Thank you for being real and not a part of some crazy movement. Love Panagiota xx

Thank you, my friend. Yes, I know much of it can be taken as my youthful ignorance and wild nature. TIwas being honest with my thoughts. And yes world is even darker now and basic morality i pretty much abandoned by tens of millions. God bless...

As I look back on my youth I see so many blunders made. Can not but help to feel regrets. And think how bad at times I must have acted. Raging hormones does not explain it all, methinks.
