Youth

a pleasurable place
with I dare you’s
little boys running barefoot
through mud puddles
chasing girls with frogs
pulling off rain hats
drinking the droplets
where fun is fun
life is laughs
where we never think
about pain and hurting
rainbows come always
friends are forever
clothes are confining
life is so sweet
grass is for rolling
not mowing
where it’s
never bad to cry
and
smiles are honest
and don’t hurt a bit

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...

What an honest, refreshing piece of poetry.

and the sun drips honey."
