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.
