Going to Mars

If I were on a spaceship 
Going to Mars 

I'd miss some niceties 
Spitting out the window and
Let fresh air in 
Pretty sunsets be no more 
Or stars at night 

Because there would be no night 
Nor bright sunrise 
How would I count the days 
That 
We'd be apart 

Wonder if they'd let me drive 
Pass by your house

A Valentine's Day Poem

First Kiss

We kissed it's time for me to tell

Our first school year remember well

I don't remember teacher's name

There was this little girl, first grade

Recess, she took me by my hand

Into the storm cave we went, and ...

Fatal day sitting on the steps

Still by the hand she moved real close

Pressed her face to mine kiss was dear

She whispered sweetly in my ear

Please show me yours I'll show you mine

Kiss and show changed me for all time

 - Most of my "poems", even when basically are true, have been embellished a little bit. 
 - But this one is ENTIRELY TRUE.  She, my first crush died (suicide) at about age 20, I hadn't seen her since the end of second grade.
