Caramel Summer






The first boy I kissed,

our teeth clashed,

trickier than it looked

I thought,

worried about tooth enamel

he tasted of caramel

and beach winds.

We sat on windy steps

held hands.

I swam like a fish

lost him in the froth'

resurfacing, we watched

dolphins following mackeral sholes.

Sunset dancing, so close

what I thought was his belt buckle

dug into my pelvis.

The summer of my first kisses

snaked along

drawing hearts in the sand,

I worried about enamel

and the sweetness of caramel.

Summer time, and the livin' is easy...
To return to that place underlines the bliss of being ignorant of the complexities of the world. I wonder if I should work on the time machine or the fountain of youth first?
xox Nick, (the sane one) :-)

Summer love - what sweet memories, I really enjoyed reading this poem, I felt priveleged to share these secret moments of young love. Beautifully sculpted. I have a similarly-themed porm 'awakening'. I think you have handled the theme so very, very well, and I can taste the caramel...thanks...
