With These Blue Jeans On Poem by Jade Leven
With These Blue Jeans On
I wore these blue jeans when
I laughed
so many of my friends
have seen me laugh
with these blue jeans on
I wore these blue jeans when
I shook his hand
and introduced myself
and now I stay up late talking to him
with these blue jeans on
I wore these blue jeans when
I walked on the beach
with my father at my side
looking into the sunset
with these blue jeans on
I wore these blue jeans when
someone broke my heart
and I cried on the outside for an hour
but I cry on the inside still
with these blue jeans on
I wore these blue jeans when
my mother and I drove
for hours and hours
just to go somewhere
with these blue jeans on
I wore these blue jeans when
they told me our friend had passed
and the world seemed to drown
in tears shed for him
with these blue jeans on
I wore these blue jeans when
I said I loved someone
and I really meant it
for once in my life
with these blue jeans on
I wore these blue jeans when
I saw the whole city
in the dark from the top
of the tallest building
with these blue jeans on
I wore these blue jeans when
the sun came up
and the light made me say
'I am so lucky to be in this life, '
with these blue jeans on
but then I said,
'No, I'm not lucky...
I'm meant to be
in this life
with these blue jeans on.'
Hi, Jade, if you're still here. Sigh, I haven't frequented Poemhunter since around 2008, but I come here occasionally to find raw material, that is, writings that I can edit into poems that I can stand by now, years later. (Blue Jeans and Men's Eyes is not one of those, it's pretty good as is. I just saw your comment under it...5 years later! I loved your poem above. Bless you! ♥
ps: (assuming the comment I just made will appear, basically that I appreciated this poem) : I see you're only nineteen and I'm an old man comparatively. But I'm sort of hungry to see what girls/women have to say about their blue jeans and their relationship with them, as females in blue jeans (and when I was little, boys) have been such a spectaularly huge image and facscnation in my own life. I wrote in my other note that I have a couple poems about women in blue jeans on my own page here. Am repeating myself in case that previous comment, which I posted a little while ago, never appears. Best to you, Max
I appreciate this! It is most interesting to me! I have long been interested in the relationship of girls/women and their blue jeans. I have a couple poems about that on my own page here. I see there was no comment to this piece; now you have one!
