First Love

FIRST    LOVE

Her voice was as a bell tolled in soft motion 
Chiming with her laughter
Trembling every liquid emotion
Till it overflowed its banks hereafter

And surged out, a new energy limitless,
Into the dimmed world, with perfume
From flowers blooming in my wilderness
From my dammed stream’s unblocked flume

And the stars shone anew
As the tears of joy and emancipation
Flowed more urgent, glistening dew
On the petals of adoration.
