My Love and I
Did such soft kisses make
That older, I questioned why
My soul could not remake
The accents of my youth
She did at night
Wonder why I couldn't break
Love's subtle lullaby
And simply replicate
The promise in kissing's proof
Brighter than her eyes
Starlit Love did fast create
My reasons why
Her sweet lips made me so afraid
Of the accents of my youth
My Love downsized
By my own shortcomings pain
Too slow to realize
Such soft kisses a songs refrain
Too late to sweet kisses undo
My Love and I
With all my questions why
Did cause sweet tears to recognize
The fact that I
Arrived
Much too late
To re-taste the kisses
Of my youth....

Perfect, just hang in there, I believe you still hold the power inside those lips
Just waiting for the right breath of air to float on into your life, and replace your breathlessness with more than your lungs can take, hehe, loved it bro xox deano.
Ummmm, Well now, I am lost with words, and don't worry most of us still have that youth inside, or in our minds!!
Really Enjoyed!

I LOVE the pulse this poem has. The back and forth lines give me a push-pull feel with an overall feeing of the yearning melancholy of youth. It's magnificent my friend!
This was close to perfection my brother, just lingering right on the barrier! This was awesome and structured in such a way that at a minimum, a MINIMUM this poem is solid. Such passive feelings and mellow bittersweetness (I had to create a word for this). I think the true winners in life or love are those who can love another with the excitement of children. 5/5 old friend
