first loves and skipping classes

first loves and skipping classes

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

 

first loves and skipping classes

 

 

elementary as first grade

the simple smiles you bestowed

taught me love's golden rule

 

without complication

 

and i find myself searching you

in the recesses of my life.

Interesting duality of skipping class and the golden rule through, should we call, the visual arts?! Fun one here.

Uncomplicated and innocent. How lovely is that when thinking about love? And then you grow up and it all becomes a minefield. No wonder we travel back in time. Nice work.

oh yeah, Young Jake...ha ha.
thanks,Jimmy.
Simplicity lost in time- nothing will ever be the same as it was - feelings wanting to be felt emotions being sought out - returning to the start but only change remains - if only we could go back and find the simplicity and innocence of time gone by- wonderfully worded thoughts🌹
