Reflection: This was a romantic-themed poem that I wrote back in September of 2002 in reflection of a brief, but powerful, wonderful romantic experience I had back then. I’ve had multiple experiences like this in my life – especially in my youth. The movie: “Big Eden” partially inspired the writing of this poem and the memory of what happened during that time of my life.
