Let it Be

Let it Be

hot chocolate nights

serenity is a loose fitting sweater

of ennui

the expected

the secure

marshmallow kisses

in tandem with 

film noir

popcorn moments

mid-summer

anxious heat

hands confused

boredom a welcomed friend

love a scary adversary

better to just walk together

moonlight exchanges

Words

poetic endeavors

embraces are syllables

that may or may not connect

when the time warrants

we do.

could this be a teenage summer fling from yesteryear? ..let's do anything so that we're not bored....sex maybe, an outdoor movie? that's what use to be... now to many of us boredom isn't bad; it gives us a chance to pause in our busy lives....to breathe to ponder... a new beginning?
Nice J.

This is very nice with a quality of pubescent innocence and wonder. The mysteries of sex and love are still unexplored but vaguely recognized as dangerous and scary places to explore. It speaks of simpler times and maybe of an age when we are all more innocent with our best intentions prevailing in our reasoning. I very much enjoyed this offering, Jacob. It took me back to my first crushes and all that hormonal insecurity. It's nothing scary to an old man, of course, but, looking back, perhaps we should have been even more terrified. (laughing) F.

"... boredom a welcomed friend". Sometimes nothing fills a night more perfectly than some boredom (and old episodes of "Dateline"). Nice write. ~Jim

Enjoyed the film Noir. I had to imagine myself in a movie theater, Coke and popcorn in hand.
I think we owe you for the ticket prices sir Jacob.
