The First Time

Yes indeed I need to walk again with reality 
Yet keep the reflections I've gathered upon life's long way 
Sense once more locked away happiness that you gave this day 
Your touch upon my soul in truth your specialty. 

I walked amidst the mist the mystery of this my life 
Then you come along a seed in the warmth of dancing light 
With eyes of distinctive jade and freckles on a face bright 
Spreading the message of love's rebirth to a man in strife. 

That first time at that first touch you awakened my numb soul
The lined eyes of wisdom the colour mirrored in mine own
The next step now a certainty the seed from thence was sown
Your happiness as cupids arrow to your heart my goal

 To walk with you in truth  and from the mist to now emerge
To build that rebirth is my aim your hearts abuse to purge
