I Met Her On a Tuesday

Hints of lilac filtered through the garden
a pretty butterfly just sat at rest
me  lost in amazement
soft rays of sunshine clinging to my chest

The stone bench held my attention
as love notes floated through the air
my heart was in a flutter
sensing she was near

Her eyes were sweet as honey
her skin had that special glow
her lips so moist they begged for me
to memorize the passion that they showed

I met her on a Tuesday
that's when the world for me would shift
the stars shot past the heavens
as our souls would forever drift

Ah an encounter with a marvelous vision that strikes one with the immediacy of love at first sight! It happens quite often I suspect and sometimes rather disappointing. A Very lovely poem.

Beautiful and romantic dear friend, Tim. May you be forever happy! Your poem reminded me of a friend of mine who met her on Tuesday, got married on Saturday and are still together after 32 years with two children. True story!
