First Taste.

Looking glass eyes,
Of burnished shadowed souls.

Seeing entirety,
Beholden of nothing.

Ever pursuing,
Yet a failing of discovery.

One moment comes,
Catching those mirrored eyes.

A hushed moment,
Forever etched in eternity.

Crystalline shattered,
Scattered splinters of time.

Silent air hanging,
Weighing on unspoken lips.

The soft rhythmic pulse,
Of an unfettered heart.

A first tasting of love,
But feared and left behind.

A lot of years ago comes to mind with this enticing poem Charlie. I am glad we never get to old to think of these tempting poems. God Bless, Cile

this poem is a clear manifestation that a painful failure beats the hell out of never trying or even a lightyears better than not trying even a single thing. indeed a cleverly written poem, with much respect and adoration, GiNo,18
