Teenage Love Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

teenage love
is a strong
vibrant love

growing in developing trust
unburdened by broken baggage
emotional scares some adults

choose to relive
in endless cycles
dance of bitter blame


for you always among
the smiles and tears
there should always be

beauty so you always
remember who you are
and always stay serene

confident and poised
focused on life giving energy
gift you inherently impart


when you enter a room
it blooms with vibrant energy
the walls shimmer possibilities

even with previous occupancy
room was grey dormant
flat without passions of feeling

before your entrance felt entry
when room breathed back into life
with joy greeting your sparkling soul


therefore never be grey downcast sad
show your smile to appreciative world
so our world need not be dour grey solemn

when God smiles the universe shines
when you smile your friends rejoice
your smile ripples across dark waters


we miss your smile
yet can see it in our minds...
mere thought of your

smile makes us smile also...
our lips obey the command
of our responding hearts...
