And I Still Remember! Poem by Ibrahim Bidu

Sitting behind you

Watching you hunched over a paper;

The mind went back to that day,

That memorable day,

That cool afternoon on the beach;

Dressed in tight light blue jeans shorts

That snugly hugged the tender thighs,

And soft pink short sleeved shirt

That imprisoned two ripe breasts

And hugged the wasp-like waist.

The impact increased the heart beats

The feet froze

The temperature rose

And sweat trickled in spite of the breeze,

The shake of the tender hands

Sent a chill down the spine

Time stood still

Breath came in short sharp hisses

Lips trembled

Never had desire so high rose

Control over eyes was lost

As it roamed over the lovely toes

The magnificent torso

And hair that in the wind swayed.

Though the memory still remains

Nothing of what was said

Had been retained!

And I still remember that afternoon

Do you?
