The Accents Of My Youth
My love and I
Did such soft kisses make
That I questioned why
My soul could not remake
The accents of my youth
-----------------------------------
She did at times
Wonder why I couldn't contain
This most subtle lullaby
And simply replicate
The promise in kissing's proof
------------------------------------
Brighter than virginal eyes
Starlit love did fast create
So many reasons why
Her sweet lips did make me so afraid
Of the accents of my youth
-------------------------------------
My love downsized
By my own shortcomings
Too slow to realize
Such soft kisses
Were her hearts refrain
Too late, to kisses undo
--------------------------------------
And now, so long has arrived
And the simple fact that I
Am able to empathize
With a smile upon my face
And at the same time
I most jubilantly hypothesize
Over the magic within
The accents of my youth...

Ah Tony...
Bees buzzing unseen, the distant whirr of a lawnmower as the scent of freshly cut grass wafts on the warm breeze; this whole poem is seen through the hazy prism of one of those endless, hopeful summer days edged with expectation, anticipation and joy!
Cherie hit the nail on the head above, though...'Innocence'...that's the word which encapsulates it...not naivete or pathos, but innocence in the very best sense of the word.
This is evocative, beautifully written and a sheer bloody pleasure to read!
Delightful, my friend.

Kings to you!!..... Tony xo ?✳✴☀??
Hi Tony....I love the fact that so many of your works can just transport the reader into quite another realm and this has done just that!There is such a youthful naivety here that just takes you back to the whole'loveliness' of childhood- love it!

Thanx LODIGIANA!!.....and you're exactly right.....I was definitely trying to 'play up' the youthful naivety' of this write!!.....I appreciate all the 'way cool' feedback I receive from you dear poet sister!!...... Kings to you!!..... hugs-n-smiles.....T xo ?✳✴☀♥?
My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Bada Bing, Bada Boom. For the third time in a month a powerful poem that you have written, like this one, has inspired me to write one of my own. It is called "The Four Seasons Of My Youth", which I have just posted. I am thinking about coming down and kidnapping your brain.
Love you Bro,
Larry xxx
