Best For The First Time Poems

POTD 10-5-19

Dedicated to Timothy Lee

Joy harnessed from soft internal lightness
was pulse promised with attraction’s might
and sealed blissful bound by our first kiss …
	  with lips our hearts found their home address 

Our emotive blessings deafen my questions
and ease my perception’s limitations
for you are my...

Today I saw her 
As if for the first time 
She had aged dramaticly 
Deep lines all over her face 
crippled and deformed she was now 
Barely clinging to life 
When once she was so beautiful 
So full of energy strength and perfectly 
Shape from...

You were so familiar when I met you for the first time
My eyes couldn't believe, my brain was also denying

I thought I'll never fall in love again in this lifetime
But that moment, I observed some shift in my Paradigm

Grace on your face, luxury of your...

The birds are chirping
the sky is blue
the trees are green 
and so are you
i fell in love
for the first time
my girl is pretty
my girl is smart
she is an angel
and she is fun
nothing is missing
and it's all fine
today i'm trying 
to be just nice
see the gay...

I dreaded the thought of appearing old, 
Until I thought of stories quietly told,
Of my grandmother's prime;
As if I looked for the very first time
At her face and into her eyes...
Now, seeing who she was beyond age's disguise.

Here I am, in my older year
With my...

Steep are the crags of the Macgillicuddy Mountains,
Steep are the mountains that slope down to the sea.
Deep are the streams and the fast flowing rivers,
Deep are the feelings that are stirring in me.

I look across the picturesque valleys,
I watch the birds fly, swoop and dive.
I...

Dive deep
	into my inner place 
	once more, maybe twice.
	
	Fly while standing still,
	as I did before
	I learned the truth.

	Lose myself in painting
	to the point of no breath
	or thought beyond the canvas.

	Write with abandon 
	about heart, butterflies,
	and her fierce beauty.
	
	Walk among white marble tombs,
	eat crawfish jambalaya,
	dance the...

i'm talking world war three blues
and how the baubles resemble the planet neptune
one kid has trashed the grotto
flameless LED tea light candles on the mantlepiece  

another exclaims, 'can we stop talking and just take 
the photo?'
a girl says she wants a telescope
a boy says...

Poetically I speak to your heart

The tears of time are bitter sweet

The dreams of old are torn apart

Oceans of sadness finally meet

Never found when push comes to shove

Looking for sun in the darkness night

Perpetually caught  in the whisper of love

Never knowing what's wrong or...

Seeing him on the hot summer day 
Swimming in the big blue ocean 
We caught eachs others eyes
I looked into his soft but tough sky blue eyes 
With my dark big brown eyes
His bleach blonde hair flipping back
As he is running to me 
I knew...

Back again for the first time

Waves travel from mid ocean to the shore line
The rain drop falls from leaf to leaf in the amazon 
Birds mate and create
The souls of soul mates die together

What we have is temporary 
But was meant to be like a...

Sister, older Sister you I finally met and and starting to know
I met you and wished you did not have to go

I love your black, silky hair and especially your grace
...and that beautiful blouse with all of that lace

I watched you close to see if...

I am adopted and a single child
having a stammer since pre-school
I also loved soccer to play and watch
at 12, I got to go to my first game, real cool!

This was fab to go on my own
for the very first time just me
a real sense of...

I dreaded the thought of looking old until I thought of stories untold of my grandmother's prime, as if I looked for the very first time at her face and in her eyes who she was beyond disguise....

Where are you tonight?
Are you okay? Are you alright?
Do you ever think of me too?
Because, I so often think of you.
Does your mind wonder back there?
Can you still smell the honey suckle in the air?
You could have stolen the thunder out of the night skies,
With...
