First Love

My first love appears when I'm dreaming when he makes my cheeks blush with heat and his gentle touch burns me like fire. On full moon nights, when stars are gleaming my lips tingle for that passion and desire.

Lin, thanks for taking me back to those wonder years of my own first true love and all the passion it engendered. Occasionally, our dreams do indeed take us there, proving the indominable spirit of true love.

My first love was a long time ago, but the memories are still fresh in my heart and soul. Nothing beats the intoxication of that first time of loving someone who loves you back. I like how you describe it, Lin - "my cheeks blush with heat". Beautiful.

Very sensual poetry, Lin. Young love at its best. Or old love at its best, now that I think about it. :-) Have a great week! Bill

Lin this is so special, so endearing, poignant, passionate. My dad used a song in his video (of my mom) - Sinatra’s “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning.” He speaks about how true that song is. I’ve learned a lot about someone missing their soulmate. Tight hug for you. This is a beautiful poem, Line.
