First Date
New beginnings smiled from across the room
Big brown eyes melted mine as I thought
...this cannot be real!...
Butterflies performed ballet in my stomach
Her voice danced like wind chimes in my mind
Sleeping violins came alive and
filled my ears and my heart with song
I’d been deaf for far too long
We touched hands
Hearts pumped faster faster faster
Heaven and freedom became ours
for the moment in this finger embrace
Effortless conversation
A meeting of minds, sometimes intense
Mostly light hearted
Sprinkled with sparkling happiness
Lips pressed together in a goodbye
as innocent as our souls
A gentle reminder of vulnerability and
hope for what may come, for what may be
Rain fell from the sky like an angel’s blessing
streaming our faces in the day’s dusk
I wished to dance my way home on the raindrops,
lingering in her kiss
