The First Sight

When I first saw that face,
I could not believe that my race,
Had such a miracle,
My doubtful and sinful eyes
Met hers, which fully resembled sapphires.
An enigmatic smile kissed
Her sculptured lips,

I wanted to hear her voice
To see god’s choice,
It seemed as if all the beauty,
In the world,
Was hers.

No one could change,
The working of god,
Her hair changed from black, red and gold.
It seemed as if the sun,
Had disobeyed to see turn.

I wanted to ask her name,
But she had turned around the corner all the same
I wanted to run to her-fast
But didn’t have the courage to.


That night she presented herself
In my waking haunting fortress
For which I would rather you didn’t press,

Such feelings I held for her in a spell
Which were like enchantment in a cell

I didn’t want to live without seeing her
I didn’t want to go without seeing her
I didn’t want to be without her………………………….

I saw her again
………
She was laughing
She was happy
With someone else
Wearing a ring
She was content
She was ………. Beautiful.

And she didn’t need me
I needed her
But she was not mine



She was gone

She would have a life
But not with me
She would be happy
But not with me
She would have her firsts 
But not with me
She would grow old 
But not with me




I was in love 
But the girl I loved wasn’t mine 




People before I go 
This is love 
It’s not only that


It’s weakness,
It’s devotion,
 It’s affection,
It’s irresistible,
 It’s fondness

It’s blindness
It’s an awakening 
It’s worship
It’s something to die for…….
