This is a poem I wrote when I was fourteen....I am also going to post the 
very first poem I ever wrote when I was twelve (if I can find it...). This 
poem is not very good in and of itself, but considering the age I was when 
I wrote it, I think it is pretty good. Maybe someday I will try to rewrite 
it....

------------------------

Six years ago,
Joseph stared deep into her eyes;
As his fingers trembled,
Holding out the diamond ring...
Cassi held her breath,
Scared it was only a dream;
Not worth anything...
As the ring slipped on,
She let out a sigh.
It was real.
Joseph held her hand,
And slowly lifted her veil,
Finally  freed from his lonely jail.
As the preacher finally said
This famous last words,
Joseph took Cassi's chin in his hand.
As his lips met hers
In astonishing passion which
She alone seemed to understand.
As they walked back down
The aisle from which they had come,
Joseph was smiling.
Cassi was afraid of her new life,
Would it be true?
Or just another lie in a world of lying?
Then Joseph reassured her
By turning his warm smile on her,
So intense it lighted his eyes.
She brightened her outlook, 
And pit her arm around his waist,
Feeling ready to cry.

They made love on the beach that night,
So tender at first, 
Then made wild by desire.
Joseph moaned as his head bent low,
Wanting to take her again,
His body intense, rapid, on fire.

With one swift motion,
Cassi jumped out of bed.
The dream was so real,
That was all that could be said.
As a tear rolled down her face,
She remembered Joseph, who gave.
Her sweet, beloved Joseph, 
Now six years in his grave...
