One Sultry Night

Ah.... young love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Angry young man

Invisible girl

Holding on to each other

Fighting off the whole world

 

He doesn’t care

She’s just “over it”

Everything they’ve planned

Has come down to this one night

He promises not to leave her

She has to trust he is right

 

She’s everything he hoped for

He’s everything her mother hates

Leather and liner

Black bracelets and paint

He brushes back her bottle black hair

Revealing her beautiful face

 

Two rebel lovers

One sultry night

The parents say it is wrong

But it feels so right

 

Spirited children grown up too fast

Hungry for something they can’t explain

Knowing nothing in this life will last

Just live in the moment

Let the tears fall where they may

Or stand up with fists drawn

And fight their way

 

Mama cries “girl where have you been?”

And “why are you wearing black?”

His dad says “son, your late again”

He just goes up the stairs, and doesn’t look back.

Don’t answer their questions

But don’t tell them lies

 

Don’t say anything …

 

      They

         won’t

               understand.

 

He grabs the cash he’s been stashing

One sack of clothes and his guitar

Jumps out the window

And heads back to get her

 

She’s already waiting for him

Outside the gate

Jumps onto the back of his bike

They ride away

 

Now her mama is crying

His dad is just mad

Neither of them saw it coming.

Her note says:

“He’s not so bad”

 

She’s everything he hoped for

He’s everything her mother hates

Leather and liner

Black bracelets and paint

He brushes back her bottle black hair

Revealing her beautiful face

 

Two rebel lovers

One sultry night

The parents say it is wrong

But it feels so right

A poem of forbidden love, but they fight for what they believe, i really loved this, it was simply written but you displayed everything so well, nicely done.

Beautiful feelings, beautiful imagery. it flows like a beautiful song. The simplicity if your words made it close to the heart and brought out the feeling you put into it. I really enjoyed reading this over and over and over again!!!
