Music and laughter drifted from a gazebo on the green lawn <br />As the spring breeze blew fresh flowery scents into the air; <br />We were at the park and all I could think about was your hair <br />Caressing your shoulders in the sunlight. <br /> <br />We were young and we believed that none of our actions <br />Though amorously brimming over with unconquerable desire <br />Could be anything but child-like angelic innocence <br />More heroic than the Garden of Eden. <br /> <br />You held my hand and my pulse rate rose <br />And my mind was ecstatic with wondrous excitement; <br />I touched your face with my fingers, <br />I thought maybe that very moment I would expire. <br /> <br />I don’t remember anything you said <br />But your voice was like nightingales by an evening stream <br />Where sages and poets sit to find their dreams, <br />Your every breath was miraculous and enticing to me. <br /> <br />We fumbled and made naïve inexperienced kisses <br />That would never make a Hollywood movie gross millions <br />But I was drunk with more intense happiness <br />Than most mortals will ever know or express… <br /> <br />The essence of this memory still leaves me enraptured.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/essence-of-a-memory/
