Here is a poem from my book.. about my first real "date", when I asked a girl to junior prom and had my first kiss goodnight at her front door. that romantic image of puppy love...
I still think about this girl and I still miss what love she had to offer...

"Beneath the Porch Light"

Beneath the porch light where you shone your brightest,
We stood awkward with our goodbyes
Shy in our hands, and not wanting to let go
Together we stared, staring at the other staring;
At the other lost, the other free,
Until we laugh; because tonight feels right,
Under the canopy of an eternal starry night.

And I pull away, because Im unsure, Im afraid,
So you leaned in to brush my lips
(With such your artist touch)
And then I knew I had felt my highest,
Beneath the porch light where Id shone my brightest.
