First Experience
Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze.
"Excuse me while I kiss this guy."
Early morning,
Dew dropping,
Sun rising,
Tide falling,
My mind soaring.
The smell of alcohol
Wakes me up.
I see something tall,
My wife, holding him up.
The curtain is opened,
I realize that she is waiting,
For sunlight to mold his aura
Into something more prescious than gold.
I hold out my arms,
She lends him to me.
I hold him tight,
He breathes softly.
My little man.
"What should we call him?"
A feeling I have,
Excuse me while I kiss this guy.
