Notes About The Poem

''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 an old backpack
and better judgement was left behind in our dust as we stormed away

oh, it was wonderful with the wind in ours 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 wonderful weeks
   nothing fancy like restaurants or shopping
   just amazing love that I have never, ever forgotten

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

Duke Beaufort November 22, 2015 at 3:56 PM Sounds like an experience not to forget. Yes, we wonder about these things, but life is often irreversible in this regard. We make choices and go down a certain path in the end. You had a lot of courage at the time to take the risk and go. Perhaps one day, you might meet again and see where time has taken him. Constance La France November 23, 2015 at 7:54 AM Duke, thanks for visiting my poetry, oh yes, I guess I was a bit wild and untamed back then also, oh yes, I often think of Geroge, but have never searched for him, the past is beautiful and I do not want to destroy it with reality ~
