Warm Hands And Wet Feet
My love for you is plain to see
But I haven't felt yours yet
And when at last I hold your key
I'll pass through your parapet
Though you do not yet realize
The passion I feel now
It doesn't really matter babe
I love you anyhow
I want to live my life with you
And be a family
I'd love to touch you in the nude
And feel you holding me
Let my fingers perform
You've got all the right grooves
I will keep my hands warm
And we will see if I improve
I can learn every step
Teach me all of your moves
Then while I'm getting my feet wet
I'll be wearing loves shoes
While you may never want to share
The feelings that I do
If you ever feel like love
Remember who loves you

Another oldie that somehow escaped posting before now. It will be 30 the day after Christmas, if we get past doomsday on 12/21... jj

This is quite an old poem, JJ. It was nice though in a sad sort of way. I presume that this never lasted? Did you say you wrote this when you were 19?

Yea, she was my girlfriend while I was in college, but she lived 200 miles away while I was stuck in New Jersey, so it didn't last. That's one of my Maggie poems. There are several in the Journey through The Past list from right around that time period. She was 3 years older than me, it was never gonna work out... jj

Thank you for commenting Alecia. Back in the old days I would often write poems after coming up with the end first. It was just a part of my style of creating, make my point and then build the poem around it. So many of the old poems have good endings that tie it all together because they were the spark that got them started, I just saved them for last. Now they seem to hit me all at once and I have to race to write them down so I don't forget it all before I'm done. jj
Yes, that train of thought is actually quite mutual. Stumble across an intriguing line, ponder upon it then work around it. I find myself doing that every so often, and as well with ideas coalescing all at once. I like how you think and the candor you express
I understand you like introspective poems. You might like these also:
