From day one
At first sight of you
Now, fifty-four years ago
To you Sharon, my heart was due
For four years you hadn’t known
I was your secret admirer
And telling you, “I Love You”
My heart’s only true desire
A life altering experience
A young boy falling in love
Suddenly I knew why
Lovers wished on stars above
And although I knew
I needed love too
I never expected
To have love returned from you
I was just so captivated
At sight of your smile
So thoroughly enchanted
Mesmerized of your style
And after confessing
My secret love for you
Before you moved away
“Good-bye” so hard to say, I knew
And now after so much time
I’d give anything to hold you
To gaze upon your smile again
A feeling I never outgrew
You owe me no apologies
As you’ve already filled my life
My memories of you Sharon
My heart’s forever wife

That love will always be there AP.
Andy
And it'll go with me to my grave. Thanks for the visit Andy. 😉
so sad, yet there's beauty - too, unquestionably:
(who of us, imbued with regret's scorching blood
haven't got rooms, with broken neon lights above
naming, that one who'll always have a permanent,
place: in the depths of our heart's..)
thanks for sharing, so bravely dear poet
Thanks LB, I've never seen it as sad. Its always been a blessing I'll forever be grateful for.
That's beautiful AP. I'd love to know your story
Thanks Sax, my story is here in the pages of MPS. Every poem with the "Rose of Sharon" logo was written with Sharon in mind.
A memory made years back still feels so near and your verse spells its hold as moments move onward - that final line had me near tears so poignant with what ifs and supposing -- a moving read A.P,
Thank you Fay. A long road its been, but a road I'll always look back on and smile. 😊
