Sweet First Love

SWEET    FIRST    LOVE



Her voice was as a bell tolled in soft motion, chiming with her laughter,

Urgently trembling every liquid emotion till it overflowed its banks hereafter

And surged out, a new energy limitless into the dimmed world:  with perfume

Of flowers blooming in the wilderness from my dammed stream’s freed flume,

And the stars flaming anew as the tears of joy and emancipation

Flowed more urgent, glistening dew on the sweet petals of adoration.


.    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .

Entered in  Francine Roberts' Contest    Short and Sweet
