So I have finally written the words
That I dared not write for so long
The songs which remained unwritten
Despite my heartfelt desires

Now my head aches and my body floats
As if I had dropped a heavy pack
A few yards back after hauling it
For years along an empty road

But doubts still linger,
Prowling like hungry bears
What will you think of me
Now you know I love you?

What can I do to prove my love
My love? Can I send flowers
To a seven year old lover?
No, for conventionality would kill me

I could buy you red roses
from the greenhouse. A bouquet
Susceptible to these northern frosts,
A tangible reminder of your magic.

In our thousand mile absence
I forgive my silly day-dreams
But secretly wish to hear your feet
Crisping through the snow, early, alone

That is a very nice poem. I love the images! Wow! The little child knows she's loved, although chastely and from afar. Wonderful!

I agree! Lovely imagery, and a sweet expression of that almost indescribable thing - sexual love for a child! Elegantly written, and actually understandable! The best poem I have seen on here.
