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....

Thanks much . 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!

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!

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.
