The First Time

Yes indeed i need to walk again with reality Yet keep the reflections I’ve gathered upon life’s long way Sense once more locked away happiness that you gave this day Your touch upon my soul in truth your speciality. I walked amidst the mist the mystery of this my life Then you come along a seed in the warmth of dancing light With eyes of distinctive jade and freckles on a face bright Spreading the message of love’s rebirth to a man in strife. That first time at that first touch you awakened my numb soul The lined eyes of wisdom the colour mirrored in mine own The next step now a certainty the seed from thence was sown Your happiness as cupids arrow to your heart my goal. To walk with you in truth and from the mist to now emerge To build that rebirth is my aim your hearts abuse to purge. © Harry J Horsman 2013 © Mandy Tams 2013 Collaboration with Mandy Tams The Golden Girl
