First Love

Tantalising dreams promising the ‘First Love’ kiss

A gentle private passion of unfathomable emotion

Aching to expose and express its inner feelings

Whirling patterns of thoughts Innocence in motion

Limelight on the staircase of First Love’s journey

Uncertain footsteps seeking heaven’s first flight

Finally arriving at love’s advantaged point climax

Breathlessly awarded a moment’s ecstasy height

Reluctantly descending from heaven’s hot heights

Each tentative tread unwinding a skein of the after

Lost as reality raises visions of life’s true pathway

Once more the servant of routine’s cruel master

First Love’s call demands the mind’s full attention

holding the distracted victim in a chaste tight grip

Blind to all senses confused by reason’s vacancy

Lending the innocent initiate an intoxicating trip
