Lips Eyes Face Thighs Summer Skies Teenage Sighs Poem by BEAU GOLDEN

Lips eyes face thighs summer skies teenage sighs
a flood of angst and emotion beneath the bronze skin lotion
And she is worth loving And she is a dream to kiss

Where did she go who did she become why was i so dumb
Full lips full hips but a sweet disposition
Those eyes i longed to look into once again such deep pools
A heart so fresh and pure and open no hearts like that day

Ahh that day. i am 24 i shut that door. a stupid comment
unrehearsed put me in love's death hearse? death curse?

Wanting to have you and you knew what you wanted
I wasn't that special after all a tough tough lesson
Who did i kiss after you? No one not for a long year or two.
Because of you, i waited.
Your sweet sensual beauty rang in my brain for days
Each time for 10 years i met another with your name
I tossed her aside as you gave the name fame.

God how i wished i had kissed you only once more
God how many times i silently passed your door
Pride and ego unswallowed
Instead I wallowed
Always wondering if i could've just wandered back into your life
And just said hi.

10 years gone and you've wandered on.
I sit alone in LA and think of you
My tender first real kiss
My loving candy lip glossed girl in the sweet moment of my backyard lawn chair- our lips locked and i began to feel.
You are still so real.
