i am hopelessly romantic




north country girl

 

 

on the beach

reaching for the same shell

 

fingers touch

eyes meet

 

a stone's skip from us

two dolphins splash and arc

 

how ironic

 

~~~

 

two days

 

we were allowed two days

 

~~~

 

i will always wonder

 

was she the one

 

~~~

 

shall i describe her

can i

 

blush of fall apples cheeks

blue of summer sky eyes

chocolate sundae with sprinkles smile

soft as baby's bum skin

cherry jubilee lips

bountiful harvest breasts

tropical breeze breath

 

too poetic

not poetic enough

 

it took no thought or imagination or effort

 

two days

two evenings

two nights 

two mornings

one goodbye

 

maybe it is better this way

a perfect memory

There's a lot to like about this poem (which I did like). My favorite part is:

two days

two evenings

two nights

two mornings

one goodbye


Well played, Pony.

Very tender and carefully composed. Most of us, I suppose, tend to want good things to last forever. But the fact they they end doesn't make them any less intense or memorable, as your poem demonstrates beautifully.

The advantage of a short romance is just that. There is no time to dwell in the faults. Sounds heavenly! Yes, you are a romantic, but you are a poet, and I don't know one who isn't, even if they don't admit it. You made me feel the wonder of those two perfect days. Beautiful!
