COSMIC DAYS & STELLAR NIGHTS

Cosmic days 
f my youth

still dance 
in my head ~

Long lazy
summers spent
hanging out 
with good friends.

Hot, 
sticky days
spent on cool 
breezy beaches ~

Building castles
so tall in the sand...

Laughing 
and splashing

in crashing 
white surf ~

No plans 
had we beyond 
just the moment 
at hand.

The smell of 
Coppertone hung

in the air 
like perfume ~

Transistor radios 
pumped out 

our favorite 
Rock n' roll tunes ~

Our spirits 
soared free 

like seagulls
in the sky ~

We had hopes ~ 

We had dreams  ~

We had stars 
in our eyes!

Stellar nights 
I recall ~

Spent around 
open fires ~

Almost 
combustible 
were we 
With our
teenage desires !

Innocent kisses 
that became

hot and heavy 
too quick ~

Filled with passion 
and lust ~

Breath came 
heavy and thick!

Our bodies 
took lead ~

While we 
helplessly followed ~

We mustn't ~ 
We shouldn't ~

Our protests 
so shallow!

We burnt 
all our bridges

taking leap 
after leap ~

Before we came 
to our senses ~

Once more 
able to speak ~

Whispering 
promises 
to each other ~

We knew ~ 
we would 
never keep.

How could 
we have known 

time would fly 
by so fast?

That those 
carefree 
summer days ~

Would not...
could not last?

No clue
had we 
of all that lay

waiting ahead ~

That life would 
change forever ~

Such different 
paths we 
would tread.

Cosmic days 
and
Stellar nights?

Weren't they
simply divine?
But now 
only memories 
linger adrift 
in our minds...

Of summers 
so special ~

Words simply 
cannot define ~

The echoes of 
laughter 
and joy

rippling 
back now 
through time!

Now and then 
when I stop ~

and just 
close my eyes ~

I can see 
that free 
spirit again 
If I try...

That carefree 
girl of my youth~

That warm circle 
of friends ~

And all those 
wonderful summers

that long ago... 
came to an end.
