January Innocence Poems

Born December 5, 1961,

Just shy of eighteen,
A girl with glistening eyes of dark chestnuts
Complimenting deep umber hair.
Observes life as it passes by minutes.

The classmate who is genuinely funny.

impish promises
reminisce to wish
for your kiss upon
my foolish heart
that meanders
perfectly unaware
