Woman, you are the one who lingers <br />In my mind with aching tenderness, <br />But you are hidden in the distance, <br />Walking through the business world <br />With your stately shoulders <br />In a summer dress; <br />Your smile is brief and suggests <br />Inner-stirring ideas <br />For the moment suppressed. <br /> <br />Are your thoughts <br />All professional and money related? <br />Or do you drift <br />Into your young girl affairs <br />And the first lucky boy <br />To kiss your virgin breasts? <br /> <br />I would have been <br />That fortunate and karma-blessed boy <br />If circumstance and geography <br />Would have brought me <br />To the wondrous parks and haunts <br />Of your girlhood dreams. <br /> <br />It would have been love <br />And I wouldn’t have lost you <br />To indelicate or cruel mistakes of time, <br />I would have cherished your breath <br />And would have kept you <br />Like a mystical and sacred locket <br />Forever next to my heart.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-first-lucky-boy-to-kiss-your-virgin-breasts/
