The Truth and Blessing of Love At First Sight

My first recall, is your beautiful hair walking, elegance in grace you exude, breathing sexy words to you, none were crude loving words, could not show depths of my care. I remember your unsteady glance as I peered through the edges of my windswept bangs your words whispered softly through dusk's breath ...even the horizon blushed My lips, painted temporarily parting in the trice of a gleam hid my sadness momentarily as your smile allured the depths of my sorrowful heart Your smile, did this eager soul truly bless as soothing vibes, found sad heart to invade, my thought was, may this feeling never fade forever yours, pure truth I did confess. Love, those words, born of romantic fever are as blossoms falling in gentle wind, within that sweet image, time has no end at first sight, I became a believer. I was but a wilted flower in a field of many struggling to stand barely visible yet you noticed and nourished me Your laugh at my words, being on a dare friend said, such a beauty- you have no chance king or prince, but not you, never romance then our kiss, showed him, a loving pair. I remember his scorn like a thorn, it pierced the edges of fate yet unsure you still gambled your heart at stake beneath a kiss A collaboration with Robert Lindley Thank you Robert for the invitation to weave my musings into your beautiful poem...it was a pleasure!

Interesting, unexpected and natural. This is how life happens. As I said in Robert's comments, this poem must be read aloud to appreciate its charm.

Wow Sandra - a collaboration with Robert Lindley - your poetry is going to soar even higher - you writes are quite amazing - congratulations to both yourself and Robert. A breathtaking poem! Love at first sight, my husband and I met in our early twenties, and fell in love instantly. We dated for about a year and a half and then just drifted apart only to meet up again 20 years later - we got married 6 months after that! Hugs, and blessings, Jennifer.

You two did this so well. Myself I believe in love at first site. I met my wife in Mexico, she was from Vancouver and I was from Toronto area. We met and I moved across the country to be with her. 26 years later and still in love.

Thank you my dear friend. This has been a wonderful pleasure to create with you. That this poem based upon real life event, represents the wedding of free verse and rhyme, also represents the differences in life between male and female, especially so in the romance department. Which is by no means a subtle set of differences in how each responds to controversy in this dark world and within romantic relationships.
