Along The Stream – 26th July 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen

The sky was Australian blue;
not the first time we kissed –
that time
we smashed our teeth together due
to excitement – our tryst
sublime.

Along the stream, we got undressed,
the passions came and went –
took heart.
That memory is still the best,
long after this time spent
apart.

Shared with dVerse Meeting The Bar – not quite meeting the theme of ‘anniversary’ though this is a memory that I recall at least once a year, reminiscing on the wild emotions of discovery of new love.
The form is memento (2 stanzas, 6 lines per stanza, 2 tercets (2*3 lines) per stanza, syllable count per tercet: 8,6,2; 8,6,2, rhyme scheme abc, abc)

    1. Thanks Lisa 🙏

      That particular stream is a beautiful bush walk that follows the flow down into Middle Harbour in Sydney. I have been back once or twice to reminisce those wonderful times.
