HENDERSON COUNTY GIRL
by Jeff Callaway
these eyes
they had never seen
someone so special
so smoking- hot
as she
was heaven made…
she came out of the sky
one spectacular day
in a splendid array
like her mint
chocolate eyes
did breathe
in immensities
her eternal beauty
with intensity
upon every scene
she’d ever seen…
I mean only
God could create
such a masterpiece…
she was just like a dream
slick and cinnamon and sweet
with soft pink lips
I thought I’d only ever
kiss in my dreams…
but I did in reality…
red hot
she’s got
silken sheets of skin
where I wish
my hands had been
wandering free
all along…
all over her body
long and lean
put up on a pedestal
so pristine
she was like a virgin
she was an angel
with a halo and wings
when I was just fifteen
and she was fourteen…
just two cool kids
from Henderson County
Malakoff, Texas USA…
and we made sweet love
for the very first time
on that white hot August day
back in 1991…
we lost our virginity
as life’s rich pageant
played on her cd player in the sun…
laying in leaves of grass
sprawled in sheets
was so much more
memorable and fun…
of course as is
want to happen
I awoke one day
and she was gone…
but in that one moment
in time
she was mine
and I was hers…
and we were one…
and she was…
my Henderson County Girl.
