First Taste.

Looking glass eyes, Of burnished shadowed souls. Seeing entirety, Beholden of nothing. Ever pursuing, Yet a failing of discovery. One moment comes, Catching those mirrored eyes. A hushed moment, Forever etched in eternity. Crystalline shattered, Scattered splinters of time. Silent air hanging, Weighing on unspoken lips. The soft rhythmic pulse, Of an unfettered heart. A first tasting of love, But feared and left behind.

A lot of years ago comes to mind with this enticing poem Charlie. I am glad we never get to old to think of these tempting poems. God Bless, Cile

this poem is a clear manifestation that a painful failure beats the hell out of never trying or even a lightyears better than not trying even a single thing. indeed a cleverly written poem, with much respect and adoration, GiNo,18

We often think about what we could have, should, would have done. We must seize the moment. Great write.
