Wild and Untamed


I met George one spring day as he cruised by, so sexy
  he was a dreamy dream on a big motorcycle
and I was so young and at a lovely fanciful age, a butterfly
  we spent our days riding the country roads

our nights under the stars in parks and beaches, kissing
  I could not bring him home to my parents
he was wild, untamed and a free-spirit soaring on wings
                                         and oh, so romantic

  George was my blue sky and I was so in love
  one day he said to me, lets go to Florida
          we will leave for Daytona Beach today

I was thinking of mother and father not approving, hesitating
  but the idea of the open road was appealing
  I emptied my bank account that day
  packed some stuff in a old backpack
and better judgement was left behind in our dust as we stormed away

oh, it was wonderful with the wind in our faces and the blue sky above
our black leather jackets flapping in the wind in tune with the soaring roar

   we stopped in small towns along the way
           slept in cheap motels at night
                    oh, it was romantic

we arrived at Daytona Beach and spent two weeks
   nothing fancy like restaurants or shopping
   just an amazing vacation I have never, ever forgotten

          I often think of George and what he is doing, now

Wild and free -- I felt the wind in my hair and I felt like giving a whooping yell into the night! Loved it. 7 Have you read Ghost Story by Peter Straub -- just finished it -- very good!!

Memories and longings of past cherished relationships and times of youth. They always make for inspiring poetry and you did just that with this gem.. A7 and what a great memory you stirred in me of a fantastic time back in my youth.. Thanks.. By the way have owned 6 motorcycles myself when younger.
