The first love poem

This is my first love poem

and it’s for you.

My previous ones have been bitter 

and was for a stranger.


But this one’s different


This one’s for you

an acquaintance,

a friend

a precious soul.

One that’s pure in every sense.


I used to see a void in her eyes

which I try to avoid

But in yours I sink 

They draw me in

then let me go

But I don’t know if I want to go


Your strange light

shrouds the evenings of misery

I lose myself 

in those eyes


I love the way

Your hair dances in the wind.

And how you sing every speech.

I love how you smile

at everything,

even when they don’t smile back.


This is my first love poem

and it's for you

Here’s hoping for more to come.
