Christine
Christine, my love, I see the dress
You wore in the day on the street
For your face so beautiful my heart leapt
And at that moment I confessed
I was transfigured, yet nevertheless
To meet you I must so my feet
Searching avenue and street to keep
my restless task. My body will not rest
Until I see you're bouncing pony tail
Among the crowd, so I rushed to see
The path you are on so not to fail
To see your face and fulfill my fantasy.
You caught my eye, my heart stopped and well
And I knew you were my lover to be.

II
Remember Christine, the quick wave
And the sly smile along the way
With the fresh breezes that day
Rustling your hair down that gave
Me a picture transfixed to parlay
To a heart filing with love. So brave,
I followed you to the bus stop to say
A nervous hi with a trembling words to pray
Your response could see my heart
Beating with passion and pain
Already longing to not be apart
For fear, never to see you again.
Yes, love at first sight to start
A rising tide to begin the beguine.
III
Dearest, do you remember that bus ride
For that day I followed you on
The bus fearing I would sit alone
For then a movement you were by my side
And then I knew I could not hide
The passions in my heart tones.
Smalltalk began, weather and so on whereon
I did confess and I did confide
Dearest, I did not ride a bus
Then you, wide-eyed, let a sigh
For the laughing began for us
That you had missed your stop and why
We rode to the end of the line just
To touch hearts before saying goodbye.
IV
In our coffee shops visit from time to time
For just seeing you my dear, was a thrill
And each time for me was a moment to fill
My love for you. Touching our hands was a sign
Of a loving union and you were mine
Without a doubt that we will
Commence the journey of love until
Our blossoms will merge in wine.
I see your fingers touch your face
To brush back a curl and cock your head
With a smile and you said you must haste
And then you left so quickly I dread
The moment you left for I wanted to taste
Body and soul of my beautiful coed.
V
I remember our first kiss
After the movie we went for a walk
In the park we began our love talk
While traipsing through the evening mist
Then we bumped together and the kiss was a bless
For we clung together with chat- talk
Until the roosting of the Nighthawk.
Your hair, eyes, and sensual body I miss
Every moment of the day until we meet
Again and wonder dash to become one
For love's magic potion we felt the heat
Of ecstasy of body and soul for joy and fun
In our bodies lay in sweet
Embraces until the early morning sun.
VI
These were the happy days for us
for you went to class each day
and I went to work so we could pay
For necessities of life and your bus
For and you know we never had a fuss.
Remember the time we wanted discuss
Our plans for the future much you were nonplus
At that time and we put that idea away
Until another time until we could
Pay off your student loans. We still
Lead simple lives, going into the woods
To camp out and roast wieners until
Until darkness for we said we should
Go home but slept until our love to fill.
VII
Those winter days that year was fun
For often I went to meet you at the bus
Loving to see your face with the winter blush
Then running the snow each time then begun
A snowball fight and we gunned
Each other till out of breath. For us
We were like two kids who must
Continue the fight to see who won.
I remember your brown coat you wore
With pony tail sticking our of you baseball cap
As we danced in the snow till dark for
The mile home and called it a rap
As we struggled toward our door
And both laughing you fell into my lap.
VIII
Why did your heart wonder, dear
When our love filled each day
And at night physically we lay
For each time we kissed without a tear
With two bosoms pressed so near
With love so mingled so may
Our one body along the way
Each of us united so clear.
Why did your heart wonder still
When you held me in your arms
And your love began to fill
Me with your passionate charms?
Sweet dear, you said you never will
Wish me to feel alarm.
IX
The blackest moment of my life was the time
I arrived home and found you note on the table
Where you said you were leaving and I was unable
To stand falling to the floor for my mind
Swirled with emotions so my body began to unwind.
I knew Christine that you were sensible
There this could be joke for I knew you were stable
Not to do such a thing. I raced to the closet to find
Your clothes gone except your little blue
Purse with strands of hair on the self so I began the fear
The dark circumstances might be true
With panic in my heart and soul it was clear
Your were gone. I looked at your
Note again, you said I love you.
X
In panic I ran to the bust stop
Where you stop and boarded the first bus
I saw, then another bus in a my rush
Hoping to see you, then I got
Frantic so I rode busses all night and thus
Was the horrible nightmare began what
Was the beginning of insanity. I begin to discuss
To my self the is the end of my Camelot.
For weeks I search the streets and avenues
Carrying you little blue purse next to my heart
Going the coffee shop many time hoping to see you
There or on the campus for I would not depart
For my quest for you. Dear Christine, through
This all, my love for I still impart.
XI
Oh, my love for days I’d weep
With tears falling like rain
Onto my wretched body staining
My heart and soul, so deep
As I wrestle in my sleep,
So weary as my love is disdained
In your heart. Yet my love still remains
For the frequent tears I will keep
Until the day I see your face
In the morning mist floating down
And my throbbing heart will race
And my aching mind is bound
To your sweet, so sweet embrace
In the love I had found.
XII
It is spring now, yet my dark days
Still remain in my mind until I find
You for my friends remind not to pine
Over you, but in my soul I pray
For that moment to see you. My friends say
That our love was too fast and I was blind
To the ways of many womankind,
Too clingy, too obsessed, too confined
For her freedom. Yes, that is true
For I my desire and demands
Drove you away for I wish I knew
This before. I took blue purse with strands
Of your hair to the river bridge and threw
It into the river and left with shacking hands.
