First Love Lost

First Love Lost




 The earth rose to kiss her feet
 hair so long and lips so sweet
 Her caresses were like morning dew
 like a blue sky falling on you


 She sent her favors like a Spring rain
 like a beautiful snow falling again
 Lips inviting as a mother's love
 a glimpse of heaven far above


 A simple touch of her sweet hand
 could make or break any man
 As she flew past I quickly saw
 heaven's gate and joyous all


 Then like a winter long gone
 a chill hit me to the bone
 Her image faded ever so fast
 such love can never last, never last...............Tyr- 04-07-2014....

When writing from the heart and memory of a real person the ease becomes like drinking cool clear water! That one was the easiest one I ever wrote. Others have been hard. She haunts my memories still, what a glorious pleasant haunting it be!

Jan Allison Date: 5/5/2014 11:39:00 AM oh this is so beautifully written with such romantic emotions and with wonderful imagery. hugs Jan x Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 5/5/2014 6:34:00 PM Sorry to say fate decided otherwise. I saw her a few times shopping when I was married to my first wife. I even talked to her a couple minutes but decided the temptation was too great! Loving my first wife I backed off even having seen she did not want me to back off. I could not betray my wife.. not even for her! Jan Allison Date: 5/5/2014 5:35:00 PM aww Robert so sad when parent's intervene thinking it's for the best - did you ever regain contact with this lovely lady? Hugs jan x Robert Lindley Date: 5/5/2014 5:34:00 PM I thank you for such kind words. It came from the heart because a man never forgets his first love!!! Same 'ole STORY I was a very poor boy(farm) and she from an extremely wealthy family(city). She was 18 and I was 17. Her parents forced her to end it. I married 3 years later to my first wife. She married 11 years later to some extremely wealthy guy from out of state. He dumped her after a year.
