First Date

New beginnings smiled from across the room
Big brown eyes melted mine as I thought
...this cannot be real!...
Butterflies performed ballet in my stomach

Her voice danced like wind chimes in my mind
Sleeping violins came alive and 
filled my ears and my heart with song
I’d been deaf for far too long

We touched hands
Hearts pumped faster faster faster
Heaven and freedom became ours 
for the moment in this finger embrace

Effortless conversation 
A meeting of minds, sometimes intense 
Mostly light hearted
Sprinkled with sparkling happiness

Lips pressed together in a goodbye 
as innocent as our souls 
A gentle reminder of vulnerability and
hope for what may come,  for what may be

Rain fell from the sky like an angel’s blessing
streaming our faces in the day’s dusk 
I wished to dance my way home on the raindrops,
lingering in her kiss

The reader can easily see this poem was written by a very romantic man. There are men of passion and men of romance. I think you have found a wonderful balance and my own heart was pumping "faster, faster, faster" as I read of this intriguing encounter. Excellent work, Ra! Love, Carolyn
