A one of a kind lass
From the depths of my youth
So bold was I to see her
As my heart’s one truth
Her name of Sharon
Engraved upon my heart
My introduction to love
A ten year old’s start
With bright eyes
And radiant smile
My knees didn’t stand a chance
My heart there at the end of the aisle
Though she moved away
After only four years
She left me with her smile
Instead of endless tears
I grew up
Never forgetting her face
And never again would I be
In as beautiful a place
In the school of love
With Sharon as my teacher
I’m in awe of all she taught me
Even though I couldn’t reach her
Now I’m fifty-four years invested
I see the power of love
How it engulfs you
Fits you like a glove
It occurred to me
Isn’t it grand
All that love can do
And what love does to a man
To pen poetic words
Showing the passion inspired
From that of a lovely face
That sparked internal fires
She’ll forever have my heart
My first and last love
Eternally unconditional
Thankful of romantic stars above

there are some who just come and go .. your Sharon tho' is surely a keeper and with such longevity you are both a credit to love ................................ N
I'm honored to be of your fine compliment N. Thank you seems not nearly enough, but thank you. 😉
She left you the absolute best to write poetry about........ sometimes who knows whether it would have been as great if she had been the forever one.
She has always been my forever one, and I told her so before she left. I knew if I didn't tell her then I'd always regret it. Thanks for the read and comment Lorna.
ten year old?
a modern day Dante?
his, was named Beatrice
yours: you named Sharon.
both now poetically immortalised
by a bleeding heart's: ink...
wonderfully romantic, thank you dear poet
I didn't name her, her parents did. And I was forever grateful that they had a daughter. Thank you for the read and compliment LB
Good write AP.
'Now c'mon Orchi', says Fido.' Risk reading poems that have 'love' in them. Ya won't always swoon!' lol.
Orchi, I have to ask. Does Fido swoon with you? 😜
He warns me of swoons, so he don't faint himself! lol.
Your love for Sharon is iconic. And your inspiration. Maybe somethings are better that way
Thanks for the read kk. Much appreciated.
Sharon is with you and will be forever AP.

Thank you Andy, yes she is. As with you and Joyce. 🌹🌹 Two roses for our ladies.
