Lasting Impressions

Lasting Impressions

 

You made an impression

With your shining smile

And incandescent eyes


Your simple equanimity


And strong, broad shoulders

 

You made an impression

With rampant curiosity

In the funkiest of places

Full tilt boogie attitude

And your arm around my waist

 

You made an impression

With a sweet warm kiss

And hugs from way down deep

Studded jean jacket

And beat up old cowboy boots

 

You made an impression

On a windy Philadelphia street corner

In a Dunkin Donuts at 4 a.m.

With cups of warm steamy love

And lingering gazes

 

You made an impression

Sweet memories in place

Left a wisp of future dreams

Yet to be realized

I was in this shop too, sitting in the corner, peeping over the top of my scribbler, trying to sketch this lasting impression. I love the sequential unfolding of thoughts here, Rubie... your piece has left a lasting impression on this romantic soul.

This is a deeply meaningful piece to me for many reasons and I love your response to it.

you made me feel like i was in that donut shop at the same time....and caught the aroma of this interlude, mingling with the sweet sugary smells of the shop itself.
