I plunged headfirst, my silly stilted pride
The instant I beheld your Cheshire smile
And dancing in a frame of summer blond
The gold-specked umber iris of your eyes
From first hellos until this breath I draw
Your heart has thrummed as if my very own
Despite the snares and distances ... of life.
~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Seven Lines Of Romantic Heaven" Poetry Contest, Silent One, Sponsor. The truly ironic thing is that I met my first true love on July 7, 1977, and the "luckiest" number for both of us was seven.
