Love Poem: Love At First Sight

Love At First Sight

I see him as I walk in
He’s teasing and joking
With an Asian girl

Losing to him in a game of pool
She walks away angry
Throwing a dollar bill at his feet

He jokes about his drinking
His mother calls him an alcoholic
So he might as well drink
I come up to him
Don’t think that way

He sits with us at our table
Enjoying a conversation
A Girlfriend and I are having
I looked into his sky blue eyes
And ask him to kiss me

Like melting wax on a candle as it is burning
I vanish into his kiss

What has gotten into me?
I've never done this before?

I am shocked at my actions
That I would ask for a kiss
From a man I didn't know
For I've never cheated
On a partner before

I laid in bed still feeling
His burning kiss on my lips
Never to see him again

A week goes by
I get a call asking me out
I asked where did you get my number
A little bird just happened to give it to me

Thirty Three years later I'm still with him
Feeling his burning kiss on my lips
