Aussie Lolita

Summary

The poem "Aussie Lolita" reflects on the fleeting connection between the author and a young Australian woman he met at a youth hostel, capturing the essence of an unspoken, yet intense attraction that remains unfulfilled.

Abstract

"Aussie Lolita" is a love poem that captures the author's encounter with a young, blonde Melbourne girl named Nikolaos Skordlis. The poem delves into the author's deep attraction to the girl, who is young enough to be his daughter, yet he finds the love ageless and genderless. Despite his attraction and the sparks that fly between them, their interaction remains chaste, limited to a wave goodbye as she departs. The author is left with a longing that inspires him to pen the poem, musing on the difficulty of forming intimate connections in the transient environment of a youth hostel, especially as a solitary traveler who spends hours each day working on his laptop. The poem concludes with a reflection on the transient nature of such encounters and the anticipation of future connections with the women who continue to check into the hostel.

Opinions

The author values the authenticity of their interaction, which is not tainted by physical consummation, likening it to two exotic birds dancing without ever touching.
He expresses a sense of isolation and the challenge of connecting with others in his role as a traveling writer, which keeps people at a distance.
The poem conveys a wistful appreciation for the beauty and simplicity of the girl's presence, which leaves a lasting impression on him despite its brevity.
The author seems to find solace and inspiration in writing about his experiences, turning his emotions and memories into art that can be shared with others.

A love poem

She asked me about my pipe thought it was quite unusual “very old-fashioned”, she said a wild at heart Aussie girl

Young enough to be my daughter yet Love is ageless and genderless her belly and waist skin were exposed I imagined savoring her scent with my nose

I was aroused but took care not to show it senior poets craving college age girls from the underworld it does not get more pervy than that, but I don’t care I would prefer to just caress her belly though

With my fingertips, feel it get electrified perhaps with some sparks getting spawned as well me and my Aussie Lolita, with everyone watching us like we’re two exotic birds dancing with each other (but never consummating)

The next morning she checked out as she passed by wild berries and vanilla overwhelmed my nose she waved at me and said “Bye bye sailor, nice to meet you!” as she took a part of my heart with her, down to the underworld

And here I am now, a day later writing this poem about her a blonde Melbourne girl with sapphire eyes a girl with the heart on her sleeve

Who smiled and the Sun smiled with her who was shy and self-confident at the same time who smelled more heavenly than words alone can describe and who I never touched, not even with my pinkie’s fingertip, casually

Her female friends and the other guests did not make it easy for us whenever they see sparks flying they are attracted like moths are to a flame

In Youth Hostels you meet a lot of people but it is not easy to get intimate with anyone particularly if you are a loner like me who travels and works at the same time

My multiple hours per day typing on my laptop have kept most people at a safe distance though I expected that when I started this journey you cannot it have both ways my dear ‘senior poet’

So, this poem is for the lovely Aussie girl who never came to be my Lolita and to the next girls and women I’ll meet since more are checking in every day
