First Love

A prom date led me to an enchanted time when you tenderly grasped my hand and nestled me closer around your waist, rendering breath and heart to pulsate in flickers of eyes drawn like hazy moths. The hours whirled in young love’s surrender… entwined by rhythms of autumn flames that I yielded to your musky charms only to leave me lifeless in the dark. Although I found that special someone and the years between us had drained away, alienating us both our entwined lives those deep reveries, those autumn nights... have managed to linger deep within my thoughts.

A real love Nette, a lingering of heart that is true. I'm intrigued by the dark seperation, and the heart's hesitation to forget. This poem has great emotional power, and life. J.A.B.

Haunting impressions of young love in your poetry. I loved its emotion, the imagery, and that surprising end where lingering thoughts still stay despite having someone else. Nice to know my work was to your liking. I'm pleased!

Mmm it is a great memory to have and to cherish. In the routine of life sometimes moments loose magic but to that the memory is a treasure, I loved this.
