Song Of Youth Poem by Marijke McKinney

The sidewalk burned with oranges and yellows
I could not resist
Your face the essence of a morning heaven
Luring me in with it’s presence

The songs of our youth
Hummed from your guitar
So I lied myself down
Shutting my eyes to rest

As your voice sang softly
Light glinted from angels wings
I gave you all my trust
To our surreal dream

Night fell over your soul
Time crept behind your back
Before my arms circled your stomach
Your skinny body left

The songs of our youth
Hummed from your guitar
So I lied myself down
Shutting my eyes to rest

The last glowing stars
Fell upon my little shoulders
The last spark of a childish love
I shall always cherish
