When our eyes first met
Immediate attraction
Its love at first sight

snowy white with shiny granulated crystals
pink yellow and red candy sprinkles on the top
brain freeze at first bite
The first moment that we met
I couldn't believe my eyes
The woman standing before me
Was a sweet and elegant surprise
Her beauty was beyond amazing
And her smile was so bright
It was at this moment that I knew
I had fallen in love at first sight
Her eyes the pinnacle of vividness
That had utterly captivated me
My eyes were drawn only to her
She was all my eyes could see
I found myself just standing there
In a foreign state of bewilderment
There was not a doubt in my mind
That where she went my heart went
From the moment we began talking
And I asked you your name
I can feel my world changing
I knew life would never be the same
I found what had always been missing
The one piece that completed me
This gift of love God granted
Made life on Earth feel heavenly
Five times I asked Jenny
If we ought to wed.
Five times she rejected me,
Said she’d rather be dead.
A little harsh I reckoned
And so I propositioned Dawn.
She answered no as well.
As did Anne and Madelaine
And Millie, Sue and Nell.
Life as a bachelor beckoned
But finally you said yes
And ended all those fears.
So today we are celebrating
The passing of fifty years.
I have savoured every second
How lovely it was to romp on the grass,
How easy it was to make friends with her.
I saw her in a car a comely lass,
But their red car sped on in quite a blur.
How easy it was to make friends with her.
I barked at my master to make him speed.
But their red car sped on in quite a blur.
We both caught up to park, and we were freed.
I barked at my master to make him speed.
I saw her in a car a comely lass,
We both caught up to park, and we were freed.
How lovely it was to romp on the grass.
I fell in love at first sight,
Bringing in my world a ray of light.
When the first time I gazed at you,
This was where my whole world lies.
His smile is so pleasant,I thought;
With a smile on my lips that it brought.
Fighting with the world I will love you forever,
Because I promised, we will end up together.
Together in the garden,we will plant a tree,
Sitting underneath it whenever we are free
You give me the love I always crave,
Your love is the thing that made me brave.
Planting the seeds in the soil of Earth,
There will be many flowers that will take birth.
Why do you do so much extra?
I stared at the man, not understanding
You did this, that, this, that, and this…he said
I continue to be confused.
People don’t do all this extra stuff for other people, he told me.
A lightbulb flashes blue in my brain.
He is from the city
I am from a small town
He does not know what a small towner will do for a complete stranger.
We collect money for funerals, give birthday, anniversary and engagement cards.
We plan baby showers and wedding showers.
You can call us for a ride to and from wherever.
If you need a cake, we will bake it.
It you need shoes, come home with me and pick some out.
My smalltown roots will never leave me, even now that I live in a city.
Love at first sight
I was looking for a love, a love to set me apart
A love that made me feel alive, a love that would forever abide
I searched and searched and searched
And was always out of luck
And he came along
The perfect love
The one who never changes
He was always there, his unconditional love
Waiting for me to hold his hand
And at first sight, I knew it was him
Who would fill my heart to the brim
.

cauzed mine
Fervid

I saw you, and I sighed,
With a glare I tried to hide.
"Who’s this person?" I thought with a frown,
In a crowded room, you turned me down.
You laughed too loud, your smile so bright,
I rolled my eyes, not wanting the light.
But as we talked, the fun started to show,
Annoyance faded; my heart said, “Let’s go.”
So maybe first glances aren’t all that they seem,
Sometimes annoyance hides a new dream.
In the moments we clash, something strong may ignite,
From annoyed at first sight to love that feels right.
Fearless of consequence, they are ready to put up a fight.
Rejuvenated, they are,more than before they are alive.
For them, the path seems clear; they see only light.
Thrilled with self-knowledge, they know they are right.
They know it was once, and locked away forever,
It was love at first sight.
Every evening when I fall asleep
I see my wife of 42 years
Coming to me.
And every morning
I wake up
Feeling her love
.
And I realize
That the one good thing
I have done in this life
Is marry the lady
Of my dreams.
Sarangpabo – Korean Love Fool for You
When I first saw you
In my dreams.
You were the most beautiful woman
In the world to me
And still are.
When you looked at me
With love blazing
From your dark brown
Goo-goo eyes.
sparks flew from heart to heart
(????ishimchomshim)
You hynotized, mesmerized me
Your love mojo working overtime
Turning me into nothing but
A ?? ??Sarang pabo (love fool).
Eight years later
You walked off that bus
Into my life,
Becoming
my wife,
My soul mate.
And yes,
I am still
your ?? ??Sarang pabo.
And will remain under
Your love spell
Until the day I die.
Korean Rainy Night of Love
When I first met my love
My Korean bride in 1982.
We would go for long walks
Often ending with dinner.
After a romantic walk
In the rained
Soaked streets.
As we sat down
At the restaurant
Enjoying a dinner date.
We looked at the menu
Under the ruby red lights
Of the pub.
And fell in love
Every moment
Looking at each other.
With love blazing
From our eyes.
Sparks flew from heart to heart.
It was love
At first sight
Forging a deep
Lasting emotional connections.
As we fell deeply
Under each other’s love spell.
The mojo clearly
Working overtime
As Cupid’s arrow struck home.
During the course
Of the magical evening.
When we first met
Sparks flew from heart to heart.
Mesmerized,
Your mojo
Working overtime
