Son of a Preacher Man
My stomach somersaulted as we met where the brook tapered to a trickle. Fingers linked, we sauntered through tickling grass; he plucked me a daisy posy. Horse chestnut crowned the hillock; we sat beneath its canopy on a clover patch, the curved trunk our love-seat back. Steam trains hissed passed as we picnicked on cup cakes and ice cream soda. Sun blazed; the leafy drapes eclipsed our first kiss -- eyes open, lips closed, breaths held until breathless. In best lemon dress and cream straw hat, I sat beside him on dark oak on Sunday morning. He looked manly in grey suit with maroon tie, hair Brylcreemed back. His hand brushed mine -- he threw me a shy smile. I blushed, hoped no one noticed our heart-hidden romance. Granny might have guessed, hawk eyes always watching. We were love-bug bitten -- a ten year old school girl and Baptist Preacher’s son … three years my junior. ·······  ·······Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.

Hi Eira!
I'm glad to be back too, the days in sun kissed Bariloche are long enough for me to do all sorts of things...wow....and you just can't even get near to imagining the view from Roberto's apartment, which happens to be a duplex!!! I feel like a Queen!!! Yes, your poem is a sweet tribute to erstwhile romances of youth... How different from nowadays! You'd be trainspotting after having gone all the way, not eating cupcakes!! Or some such mix... Was Brylcreem spelt with 2 'ee's'? LOL, what a stupid nit. Must have a peep elsewhere before the PC is claimed. Hugs, Syl*** ······· ·······Mis temas favoritos
The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
