First Love

Young mind echoed the passion

Picked up at a theatre

Inspired by the ardor of two strangers

In cold weather


Was age the catalyst?

Or perhaps it was the beauty?

Was it in his Destiny?

Or a mislead conduit?


No time to be confused

No space left to contemplate

She was no more an alien

But a dweller in his heart


Love, inscribed upon the veins

Instilled every cell in the blood

Travelling through the body

Reaching the temple


To worship the goddess

To ask for a wish

That she would be water

Whilst he be the fish


Swimming through her

And breathing her in

Surrounded by her

And living within


He worshipped the idol

Instated in his heart

How to please the goddess?

Will she answer his call?


Naïve fancies

Swayed day and night

He knew not

The art of love and romance


Standing at a distance

He would observe

Sweating all over

When he meets her eye


Did she say something?

Does she know?

Coz he thought

He had seen them glow

  6. Love this poem!
    Especially theses lines ==>

    "To worship the goddess
    To ask for a wish
    That she would be water
    Whilst he be the fish"

    What an interesting way to describe love. You're writing has a way of invoking images that truly describe the the topics you write.

    Great poem, I'll be back :)
