There's a First Time for Everything
And there you were in front of me
Standing in full view
A floral dress and comfy shoes
That first time I saw you
And then that night you came to me
From no where so it seemed
I don't know why, but it was nice
That first time that I dreamed
And then one day I found us there
Together

Not The First Time
Not the First Time
By Cathrin Stuart
Late at night, you came home drunk
Not the first time
I heard you and Mommy talking
Not the first time
You came and pulled me out of bed by the hair
Not the first time
You beat me in the passage until I bled
Not the first time
I was not allowed to cry, mop up

The first time you kissed me, it was such a shock
The first time you kissed me, it was such a shock,
I literally saw time stop on the old kitchen clock.
But before you accuse me of over-the-top flattery,
let me assure you, it turned out to be just a dead battery.
And once replaced, time started again with the same old tick-tock.

Speaking to God about it the first time
She kissed me
She kissed me
And I tripped over a vine in winter
The blizzard
That came stayed warm
And she became my norm
Days turned to bliss
And nights held kiss after kiss
Wish after wish came
And I saw her forever with the same last name
And in the beginning I tripped

On My Own For The First Time
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 freedom I stood there
on the terrace standing tall as a

Christian moral compass
If you don't want it to be taught how America brutalized the American Indian,
and you don't want it to be taught how America brutalized the enslaved black,
don't talk to me about your Christian moral compass,
because a Christian moral compass is something that you lack.

First Time
As I stand at heaven's gates, so high,
With trembling heart and a wistful sigh,
I gaze through clouds of a golden hue,
In this sacred space where dreams come true.
Dear Lord, I ponder my earthly plight,
The shadows cast in the hush of night.
Will you weigh my burdens, each sin I've sown,
Or glimpse the flicker of goodness I've

The First time I saw her
I remember the first time I saw her
Yes I really do
I could not take my eyes off you
My mind completely blurred
Her hair was so silky
Her face, shiny and bright
I don't believe I can honesty say
I've seen a more beautiful sight
I don't really know you
Hope someday I do
I'll remember you always
my whole life through
Her eyes seem

i've just played santa for the first time
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 he wants a crane
another says a fraggle stick car
helicopter

First Time
Two people on the beach in Malibu
gazed at the ocean linking their two lands.
One of them was me. One of them was you.
To a drumbeat, deep, we were joining hands.
The waves and the rhythm of our young hearts
kept time to a flowering melody,
punctuated by cautious stops and starts,
lovely point and counterpoint by

First Time Nanna
my first seduction
was with a bowl of stale feta,
a tragic affair with a refrigerator
that wouldn't shut.
crumbs scattered like apology,
i whispered sweet nothings,
"eat me, make me whole”
the hinge creaked,
and i poured out,
wanderlust in the cheap cheese,
another unloved abandon, me.

first time being homeless
I am not sure where to go first
I have not taken much
just what I could fit into two backpacks
One of them gets heavy
I sit down on a park bench and sort them out
throwing away ten things I thought I needed
because this is day three
and I am tired of carrying two backpacks
I have not asked anyone
