This poem is dedicated to my first love as a teenager, CAM. The many love poems I wrote to her, helped me as an adult to appreciate and comprehend the power of the many female muses that have influenced my creativity as an artist. Peace and love CAM.
I dream of a world
full of peace
peace can be real
right ~
’cause like the air
~ flowing through
my lungs
I’ve felt
and still remember peace
its presence
as a teenager
in the afternoon
while laying
on my bed
daydreaming
~ sometimes
about my first love
CAM
who had moved away
from Freeland
to Zilwaukee
she inspired me to write
many love poems
later to help me
appreciate and comprehend
the power
of the many
female muses
that have
influenced my creativity
as an artist ~
I’d hear
the chimes clanging
out in the yard
from the summer breeze …..
…. blowing
through the window
screen …..
yes
peace
momentarily
comforted me
made me feel at ease
similar
to the feeling you get
on a summer vacation
after the martini
sets in for the night
thank you
Schmidt & Regine
Seals & Crofts
for Summer Breeze
and to the essence
of breeze
through a window ~
~ the hope for peace
it gives
and too
the sweet memories
of love
peace out
