Love At First Sight

A silhouetted lengthen form,
Came from out the morning sun.
As my eyes adjust to its savage glare,
I knew you are the one.

Though mortal in my quest am I
Fair maid I love thee so.
Smitten as the moth to the flame,
A pure vision to behold.

In trepidation of things to come,
Free from my lonely cell.
Heart beats like fluttering butterflies,
As from her lips, she chants her spell.

For I am but a simple fool,
And what can she see in me?
For that, what can I offer?
Except selfless love and loyalty.

For it is said love conquers all,
And for me I’m but a boy.
For what do I know of true love?
But in these words I try.

A very beautiful written poem, the amazing thing about true love is that when you see your partner you somehow knew that he/she is the one made for you, don t be afraid that you ll be rejected, the love is basically love, in it you just need to be sincair with your partner, that s what true love is, it doen t required money or beauty, you are writing poetry that alone is a success, however I m new on this site and wanted you to read my poems and tell me how you feel about them
