My First Love

Her name was Carol and it was 50 years ago, but these memories never fade!

 

My First Love

 

Close your eyes my darling,

that I may kiss their lids,

the softest skin on your body.

 

Open your mouth and let me

breathe from your lungs,

the warm spirit within you.

 

Caress me with your thoughts,

and I will feel your touch,

throughout my entire being.

 

Arch your back my dearest,

as the thought of our love

tenses both of our bodies.

 

Without wanting to dear,

you let me touch your desire.

But we were too young for love.

 

We paused at that moment.

Another would be our first love.

Or perhaps…they never could.

Without wanting to dear,
you let me touch your desire.
But we were too young for love.--------this was my favorite stanza, so does it exist? to have desire, but not to feel love? I don't experience this. I always learn from you. Loved the tender stanzas.. They actually would let me believe - you loved her. wonderful poem.

Nothing ever comes close to the emotions spilt upon the altar of first loves well done

[Avoiry]

Very nice and very sweet i love the fact that you mention "but we were to young for love" as it is a true thing that you don't understand at first and the replacement of a first love never seems to happen . Very nice

[Truly Ross-Wisehart]

This is beautiful. It felt like I read these words with closed eyes and open heart. Just wonderfully captured, the feeling of first love. Well done!
