We as boys in our laughing innocence <br /> Bare-kneed played kiss chase <br /> Saucy and shy behind school bike sheds <br /> Kissing giggling bright-eyed girls. <br /> <br /> Puberty spread our limbs and minds <br /> And we dreamt luscious fantasies of desire <br /> Dreaming of fresh-faced girls in passion. <br /> <br /> We courted women with enticing smiles <br /> Sweet bodies and breasts beguiling <br /> Exploring and learning arts of love <br /> Forging each man from the boy he once was. <br />.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-as-boys/
