Best First Sight Poems
Love was in the air when he laid eyes on her.
Childhood; elementary and even high school with her.
Walking towards her, he greeted her.
Anxiety spiraled as he hugged her.
Conversation grew deeper as he sat with her.
Wanting to get closer because he was falling for her.
Another woman called pausing the time he was having with her.
Knowing he had to answer; he stepped away and spoke to her.
She stated that something wasn't quite right with her.
She said that her stomach had been bothering her.
Now he's thinking back if he came inside her.
Thinking if she lied to him about her tubes being tied within her.
Does he blame himself for listening to her?
Knowing right from wrong and yet he can't blame her.
Does he blame the devil for allowing him to be intimate with her?
Is he not a human that makes mistakes just like her?
Begging God to make a way for him and her.
Asking God to forgive him for committing the sin with her.
God said, "relax my son, you were only dreaming of her."
This is a true-life celebration of love ballad. A chance meeting on a Greek island becomes a whirlwind romance. From Athens’ vibrant Monastiraki markets to a Taverna where you can experience the lively traditional, passionate Greek culture and music.

I caught a butterfly a week ago.
Her wings had painted eyes of indigo,
Surrounded by a ring as white as snow.
So pretty I just had to let her know.
She flapped her wings and put on quite a show,
Then kissed my cheek before I let her go.
I sure was glad I stopped to say hello.
Daniel Turner
As the golden threads of silver, a mother protects her child
The path they will follow together, through life they leave deep footprints
The love that is shared will always shine its rays, nothing to fear

When our eyes met, I knew
and so did you.
Our years of longing, waiting
were through.
In the flicker of a blink
I was at your side.
A longer look into your eyes
truth we couldn’t hide.
No words escaped our lips.
I simply took your hand
in the firmest of grips
and two were one unplanned.
Abandoned
by your own mother.
How could she
leave you to die?
You were helpless,
bedraggled and weak.
When I saw you
my heart melted…
who could resist
those huge blue eyes.
I scooped you up
and carried you home.
You cried for your mum;
but she was long gone.
I gave you warm milk
you drank thirstily;
then fell asleep
in my arms.
I begged my mum
to let you stay.
From that day
you stole my heart.
I fell in love
with my first kitten.

(LOVE)
No Poet, eyes upon.
My heart began to rhyme you.
Get with the situation.
(SHORT)
First Haiku ever.
Joy of write, Haikus delight.
So cut me some slack.
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 met him in a time and place
so long ago! His handsome face
I longed to touch. It was at night.
He saw me too - love at first sight!
We danced a while and ever since,
we've been together. As my prince,
he has my heart. It's only right
we share this life in love's embrace.

This is Septilla Form: aabccba with Iambic tetrameter.
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

Robert J. Lindley and Sandra Adams
a new collaboration... Rhyme and free verse...
Note-
My dear friend Sandra, I am both humbled and so very appreciative that
you agreed to write this new collaboration with me. As I knew well,
that your verses would sing out the beautiful lady's thoughts and replies
to her former lover and his sweet and sadly truthful memories of their time
together as very young lovers. With full account given of both the good and
the bad in life, just as we all know is often a sad reality... Our combination of his memories written in rhyme and her free verse replies represents the two graceful but very different natures of the former youthful lovers!
Again, you have my heartfelt thanks.. God bless...
I FELT LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
Heartbeats slow~to~rush, slow~to~rush in blue blithesome air,
faces spotlight the summer sun, their laughter notes: a choir of February flair.
When eyes match the brilliance of diamonds and cheeks bud like roses unreserved,
the dulcet of shoots and tingles intercourse: non-stop thrilling every nerves,
skin gloss by flaming wonder wheels triggering senses to ripple and dare,
thoughts even suffer a sudden stroke despite rosaries of whispered prayers.
It is as if ten-thousand fireflies constellate mimicing the farthest stars,
I am leaping beyond the winds and hopping on the rim of a tilted caramel jar.
Has a swarm of fallen meteors, melted in rainbow dyes, envelope my heart?
How did the sullen sorrows I have~ within sighs slowly tear apart?
Melancholy disperse as circus melody hugs hearts beating in lowly breasts,
chains of interludes harp no shame as pure intentions are expressed.
My bosoms has been dressed by famine-tattered scars, I moaned complains,
but in the name of love authored by God, new life with you, I gain!

A cloud I was given
Had nose and brown eyes
My baby...Christopher
for: Cyndi MacMillan's Contest "Creativity" Modern Haiku
A silhouetted lengthen form,
Came from out the morning sun.
As my eyes adjust to its savage glare,
I knew you are the one.
Though mortal in my quest am I
Fair maid I love thee so.
Smitten as the moth to the flame,
A pure vision to behold.
In trepidation of things to come,
Free from my lonely cell.
Heart beats like fluttering butterflies,
As from her lips, she chants her spell.
For I am but a simple fool,
And what can she see in me?
For that, what can I offer?
Except selfless love and loyalty.
For it is said love conquers all,
And for me I’m but a boy.
For what do I know of true love?
But in these words I try.
