Giggles and Daydreams

Giggles and Daydreams

Those hips made me blush,

wonder at the feeling

that warmed my core.

I plunged the depths

of infatuation wearing

giggles and daydreams.

The silver screen and song

were your heaven

where I longed to reside.

My prayers left lips

that longed for a kiss,

even if I was too young.

I placed you on a pedestal

made from paper hearts

and innocence.

My Adonis was not a Greek god,

but a rock in roll singer

birthed in Mississippi.

He belonged to the world.

He never knew he belonged to me.

He was my first love, Elvis Aaron Presley.

The challenge for Fireblossom Friday was to get famous. We were to write a poem about someone famous so I listened to my young heartstrings and wrote on my first love, Elvis.
