Memories Rewritten Category: Writing and Poetry I wanted to rewrite the Memories poem. I didn't remove the old one, I merely chose to make a new version of it. I wanted to express more meaning in those crazy days of my youth. Crazy though it was, I was not shallow. Some may think that I was, but I was not. I am a Scorpio and therefore very sexual creature. That's just how I am. To me love is almost synonymous with sex. You certainly couldn't have one without the other in any lasting meaningful relationship. But these were the crazy days of my youth, and these memories come to me as snapshots, fleeting glimpses of the past. Beautiful memories of long lost lovers. Memories Djarum cloves, courderoy board shorts Gotcha, Quicksilver Constantly smoking bud Cliff diving at Crystal cove The girls came along Coolers full of beer Nude sunbathing Hanging out at the hot springs in the desert No purpose No direction Young, beautiful me Free To do what I want Flipping quarters Drinking beer Parties, five on five full court Pretty girl playing handball She liked me She played hard to get One day she said she wanted to go out with me But I was broke Cuz I had spent all my money on partying right after I got paid Our love never materialized I did tell her that I loved her beauty and youth That a young thing like her would be a treat for a 26 year old like me She said she could get with that When she said she wouldn't mind going for a ride with me Maybe stopping at this great frozen yogurt place I was embarrased cuz my truck was on empty And I had no money to buy her a frozen yogurt Pretty girl on the bus Her eyes caught mine She liked me She was in a rehab and couldn't do anything She had too many deadlines and restrictions in her life I visited her at the recovery home But guys were off limits I brought her by a bandana filled with joints To enjoy when the head dragon wasn't around She faded from my life as quickly as she came into it Pretty girl at the Beach Ball playing pool Had the hand print of a man made with chalk on her butt Contrasted well with the black dress she had on She became my girlfriend We sampled all delights Treasures were shared Bodies were bared Toni was her name She loved men All men She constantly flirted in front of me But I was mad hot back then I was her number one On the sheer power of my sexiness alone She'd put whip cream all over my body and eat it off She'd beg me to stay when I'd leave Told me I don't know the things she could do to me Rating girls that walked by in their bikinis On the boardwalk We raised our cocktail napkins 10, 10, 7, 5, 10, 7 The Beach Ball was a fun place to hang out With a loud Juke Box Right on the boardwalk at Newport Beach With thousands of pretty half naked girls walking by I was in heaven Another girl I met on the bus She stayed with me for a week We stained the walls with our love Showed her off this beautiful dove Bought her oyster sliders With Quervo Gold 1800 in them At the Blue Beat In Newport Beach She loved Prince Got her a makeover Spent time with her Bought her a plane ticket Gave her money and bud She ran away to her dad's in Florida She was a blonde kinda short Hella body Jaw dropping My friend's dad said to me "How did a turkey like you get a beautiful girl like that" I was in heaven Making all the guys in my nieghborhood jealous She was living with me in my house for Christ sakes After she ran away I remember listening to "The Beautiful Ones" on the Prince album she left me and crying my eyes out Everywhere I went I looked for her, and she was not there I couldn't get her out of my mind for quite a while Another girl I met on the bus (I'm good on the bus) lulz She had black hair and green eyes Tall and thin with a beautiful body From Colombia I was sitting behind her I overheard other guys on the bus saying "Jeez I wish I knew spanish, I'd like to talk to that girl" I just took a chance and went for broke I started talking to her from behind I asked her if I could join her She said to come sit by her I did I just reached up and caressed her neck Right out of the blue It was instinctual I just did it Her body quivered I started kissing her neck and her cheek right then and there I walked her to class when she got off the bus I kissed her goodbye after I got her phone number She gave me a long french kiss and bumped her hand into my throbbing love on purpose Sensual moment Life changing for a sexual creature like me I was 13, she was 16 Her name was Lorie She was a beautiful goddess Blonde hair and brown eyes Irish descent I mostly admired her from afar Never thinking it possible I'd be able to get with her We were at the community swimming pool at Escondido's Hidden Meadows My cousin told me that she motioned for me to come into the sauna room with her I went over there and walked in I was too scared to do anything She said "I'll have to take the lead" She pulled me to her and began kissing me She put my hands on her body and told me to touch her My Saint Christopher medallion was burning against my chest She became my girlfirend and we saw eachother pretty much every day that summer One day I moved away to my mom's house Not thinking of Lorie my love She wrote me letters full of kisses with lipstick And smelling of perfume every day One day I wrote a letter to her And left it in an envelope on my desk I asked my mom on the phone to drop it in the mail box for me while I was away on a surfing excursion She took this note that I wrote to myself that said "Write Lorie, do it, do it, do it now!!!!!" and put it into an envelope and mailed it to Lorie I had to wait till the next time I was in Escondido to find her And tell her it was all a big accident We kissed and held eachother tight But she was a young girl I was far away in another city We eventually grew apart I made the decision to move based on a girl named Brenda Who thought I was cute She became my girlfriend But she was really in love with another guy the whole time and was only wating till he broke up with his current girlfriend These are just some of my many memories of love past. I hope you like them.
