the first time


The first time that I looked into your eyes
deep blue glistening pooled like
crystal waters in the morning sunlight,
I knew.

The first time that I heard your voice
sweet melody, smooth music,
honey-dripping rhythm and blues
Then I knew.

The first time I touched your hands
warm and soft like cotton sheets
freshly dried in the heat of the midday sun
I knew that I knew.

The last time I was with you
hearing laughter echoes in
and out of the shadows of memory
I knew again.

The first time I knew.
My heart sang,
I could hardly breathe
cold chills shivered up
and down my spine.
And then I knew love
and you.
