The One I Loved Before
60This is dedicated to a dear hubber Moonchild60
She was a darlin’ a brown-eyed beauty from my days of yore.
Like sweet clover in the field she nudely skipped with her soul.
Why I left her standing weeping I can really never discern—
Call it wanderlust or thunderdust, this one thing I know—
I miss the girl with sun-kissed hair
The one I had back when
The girl I left at the candy store
The one I loved before.
She danced over pudmuddles so gaily, pleaded for so much more.
Willingly, killingly gave all to me her psyche.
Whittle-dee-tittle, frog with a fiddle I played her as a fool—
None can compare, none do fare to be as bare as she—
I miss the girl with unbolt heart
The one I had back when
The girl I left from sandy shore
The one I loved before.
Clover Blossom with tiny wasps
Skinny-dipping in the rain drying naked on yonder shore.
Newborn lovers feet entangled kissing angel clouds on high.
Honeybees and Tulip trees witnessed our flowing love—
Girl with crying curls beheld our clash in dirty snow—
I miss the girl with dimpled chin
The one I had back when
The girl I left cause I was sore
The one I loved before.
Those days we had with happy feet lying upon that sandy shore,
Like wagging puppies and newborn calves life so carefree—
Odors of crimson crisp kingdom air a princess and a toad—
Humming bird kisses and honeysuckle wishes dancing with the Moon.
I miss the girl with atomic kisses
The one I had back when
The girl who gave me more
The one I loved before.

Its a beautiful poem, sad, and touching! This is the type of poetry I like, the ones that have the ability to evoke emotions.

Wowser's, another great one for me to read.
I think we've all loved and lost someone because we were stupid and young. I know I have. thanks for sharing. :)
Hi pretty Diana, so glad to see you and I thank you.
Pretty, yes, memories are still vivid in my mind. Sometimes it just needs to be a poem so I do. Am I poet, maybe I am as I do seem to enjoy it so. Thanks darlin'
Hello wavegirl, so nice for you to visit me you big city gal. George was King and no one can ever replace him, drunk as he was. LOL I am glad I exposed you to him as I figured you younger one would not know him and dint know how you react. Yes, this is Jado my other love. hehe He sits on my left shoulder enjoying the pictures and George Jones, he likes pretty girls. Thanks you so much darlin' and you too.
Well queenbe it is a little different as sometimes I revert to this style I love, but it is not so easy you see and I must get in the proper mood for it to work. 'Twas fun to do. thanks hun
Well Wes I am glad you enjoyed it, lil different style but effective I think. Thanks now
Lmy, yes we older ones can relate so well to this can't we? Youth is for those things I think. You are most welcome and thank you darlin'
A big thanks to all of you for enjoying my poetry, Charlie
Everyone acts stupid ,once in a while !! I had ! But I can never write about it. I'm always moving on from the past !
She is pretty. She deserves that.
I don't know what to say. I am so touched. To have such a beautiful cornucopia of gorgeous words so beautifully tied together with a big bright bow and dedicated to ME. What an absolute honor. You made my day my dear, no my week!! What is even more amazing is you said she had a dimpled chin and I too have a slight dimple in my chin, only I don't think it is visible in this picture. This beauty will always be close to my heart. Thank you for such a wonderful and unexpected gift.
I never took you for stupid Tantrum. Well you grow some older and it may force you into writing of it.
Yes shamel, she is a doll, and she followed you right in.
Moonchild, I'm almost embarrassed now. Well, you deserve to attention and limelight. I thought to myself, I just know there is a dimple, because Sandy had one too. This beauty will remain for you alway as you can print it out if you want. You're most welcome but it is you I thank for the inspiration of it all. Peace and love always darlin'. Charlie xoxox
Great job, Charles...Now you gonna have half the community knocking on your door for a poem! Why do you have to be so inspired?
LOL, Dohn, I don't think so, mebbe. Who knows? I don't know how to answer your question Dohn, I just am. It's just the way I was made son. That's a good question, I may just be inspired by it, I am inspired by it and may hub it. LOL To Dohn an Inspirator

Well hello Artemus Gordon, so nice to meet you and thanks for dropping in. You are most welcome and I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks again. CC I do hope you enjoyed the Corvette song?
I had to read this one twice - it sang to me like a melancholic song - I can almost hear the piano. Just beautiful.
...now where are my tissues?
Why thank you Azur, that is so touching of you. Thanks for reading it. gee, words are powerful things I reckon.
Powerful and immortal, words are. I've read some wonderful poetry today, yours obviously among them, and now I know where to go for inspiration when I need it! :)
Thanks again Azur.
Oh how the poem ( just like the fish tail) grows with the telling. Remembering is so bitter sweet
Hi katy, long time no see. Thanks for that observation so true. CC
Spent the quiet hours of the early morning reading some really wonderful hubs...decided to treat myself and catch up on some of your work...delightful and delicious, we all have someone we regret we let slip away...so much more we cherish who we have once suffered that loss...your appreciation of beauty and female creatures vitally apparent in this gem...hugs & smiles...dear man.
Well good on you. Then ya came to me for dessert. LOL Well, yes I know beauty and do love it so. One day soon I will post some of my nude paintings for you to enjoy. Thanks darlin' and love and peace to you. Charlie
Hey there you old cowboy. ;) Its good to have memories, but don't forget to come back to now once in a while. I was just telling my husband, once when I was a little girl, my father and his friends were remebering "the good 'ol days" and I burst into tears, crying "I wish I was old enough to have memories!!!" Well, now I have a bunch of my own, but thank you for sharing yours, they are much prettier.
Hi Justine. So sorry I took so long. I have had a long day. that's a cute story. Awww gee, thanks honey. Love ya know darling. I shall be around for some time, I hope.

Lovely words and I did not forget the green flag to rate it.
Hi Cindy, gee thanks hun, you too.
Hi 2uesday. LOL, thanks for that hun.
I love your similes they were so strong and melancholic, a wonderful piece of literature. It's very inspirational.
Well hi Hookah, so nice of you to drop by. I only just spotted you in the forums and never had a chance yet to read your profile. Thank you for the nice compliment. Peace, CC
