Love Poem: Boston Pops

Boston Pops

early summer days in Boston
sunrise spent tracing Freedom Trail
the destiny of two begun 
exploring the history of others
	declarations of endless love 

crab cakes and tabasco 
gentle laughter at daybreak
ice cold beer on tap…passion hot as flame
photographs taken
	memories framed forever

Irish music and Irish cops
tall ships and walking the yard
shared tables at Durgens’ Park
begging for the shimmering heat to end
           holding each other in a sudden downpour 

enchanted by the magical notes at Tanglewood
fireworks that dazzled the heavens at midnight
kisses that defied all resistance at dawn
Boston Pops…the Fourth of July…the two of us
	 delicious memories...untouchable moments
