First Love

Young lovers gazed with hearts ablaze
Passions stirred without a word
How sweet the wine when love was mine

I love the internal rhymes here and the emotions expressed in such eloquence and in a seamless manner .. sometimes some feelings are deeper than words too. The last line sums up the poem so perfectly, pleasure reading this. Congratulations on your win. Well deserved.

First Love Young lovers gaze with hearts ablaze Passions stir without a word How sweet the wine when love was mine Kisses fired by love's own branding Unruly shivers down my spine How hungerly we loved, that very first time :)
