Love at first sight

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

I saw you for a first time…
And life shuddered, the lift stopped its climb
So that I obeyed the darling pause
Which had my eyes take a thousand pictures
In a blink and my mouth opened
To emit bubbled words which were blank
Breathe, breathe damn you
Breathe the air, otherwise I die for want of her

I don’t know you but should I kiss you once
Then would all convenience of the world
That is to an advantage and known to me
Become a paled and losing knowledge
For your kiss would lose me all rational sense
And would I enter a new dimension
A climate of passion’s exhilaration

You smile at me…
Now the lift climbs again, life accelerates
And I am in your scent, breathing you in
To a depth of imagination’s allowance
Which illuminates my senses
And will leave a dearest lasting impression
Of what love is all about, this wonderful know
This love at first sight

There is an urgency to your words that is so honest...as if you wrote this in the moment! "In a blink and my mouth opened to emit bubbled words which were blank" Oh yes, I can identify with that line. Your mind is taken over by your heart and all you can do is remind your lungs to breath and your legs to step! Filled with desire and romance, this was a pleasure to read, Ron. Lydi**
