My first love

A rewrite

My first love

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

Written in 1978. When youth was my advantage.

                                   My First love

A sweet and beautiful young woman came to me , her smile opened the door to conversation on a warm Germany Spring day in 1978..

The first taste of the her sweet lips.
Our two hands becoming one and
long walks and talks leading  two people to sweet dreams and wishes.

I learn  the  feeling of love can’t be stop.
When love touches the heart.
Life had reason and purpose.

When she love is near.
I feel alive and strong.
I feel weak and safe at the same time.

All I do is think of her.
The girl with the beautiful blue eyes and  who love to dance.

Her love torn down years of disappointment.
I feel strong and content.

I need her body near.
To taste her sweet lips day and night.

To swim in her love forever and know peace.

Sweet love, paradise of the warm sun and cold nights.
Allowed two hearts to become one.

I will always love you my beautiful Daniela.

Coyote
1978

"When love touches the heart.
Life had reason and purpose."
The most captivating lines in the poem which induces familiar thoughts and emotions. I simply love the simplicity and the purity of this piece expressing a blissful emotion -love without any extravagant ornaments. The amalgamation of sweetness and passion makes it so ravishing and touching.
Art truly canonizes its subjects. Your poem is one such example.
Thank you so much for sharing

Thank you Shirley. I appreciate the comment.

My favorite line in this one was 'long walks and talks leading two people to sweet dreams and wishes' because I found it really captures the feeling of being young and infatuated and wanting to do so, so many things with that other person.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Relationship should be a built-up. Enjoy every moment and thank you Catherine.

"To swim in her love forever and know peace"

This line here IS the poem itself. There is no poem without this line. I believe it is the most beautiful single line I have ever read. I write so much that I have forgotten how powerful single lines can be, and how much weight they can carry towards a reader. Spreading emotion, stillness, time pause. Man! Im just gonna say awesome! This is Poetry, the true meaningful things in life! Awesome!

I can identify with these lines so much,
"I learn the feeling of love can’t be stop.
When love touches the heart.
Life had reason and purpose."
The first love always has a special place in the heart. This is true for me as well. These lines bring back the long conversations on the phone, laughing myself until Im about to wet myself, and fun times. They make me think of the man that first loved me. This poem also brings to me the first man I've ever loved. I don't think I'll ever stop loving and wishing the best for them both.

I like this line too, "I feel weak and safe at the same time." it makes me think of how happy I was with the man I loved and how there were times I felt strong, but so vulnerable.

I love these lines also, "All I do is think of her.
The girl with the beautiful blue eyes and who love to dance.
Her love torn down years of disappointment.
I feel strong and content." They make me think of how I can't stop thinking about the qualities I love about this man. Funny, how we notice the smallest things in the people we love like special glints in their eyes or watching them do something they love. It does fill us with a sense of strength to know we bear our vulnerabilities for this person.

Lovely write!

Thanks for posting.

Youthful writing, timeless love.

Thank you Sarah. I was young once. A almost 40 year old poem.

I started making corrections but then as you stated youthful writing. Well said.

A very old poem. I hate to edit the old ones. Thank you Willard for reading and the comment.

I wanted to smile and say when youth was a disadvantage to you. You gave your heart away in so many places it is a wonder that it is still beating. {smiling} Valentine
