LOVE'S FIRST TASTE

Michael Edwards

 

 

LOVES FIRST TASTE

 

 

The worst of fears that night time brings,

which self-suppressed her long lived joys

and cloaked her unencumbered dreams,

had blunted sensibilities.

 

And though she walked unsteadily

unbalanced by invidious thoughts,

the leaden hand that grasped her soul

released its hold by slow degree.

 

As sunbeams weave tomorrow’s dreams

and melted notions soon dispel,

so prospects came with reasons change

absorbed in love’s first taste.

    Good write and pic Michael. Did she swoon when she tasted?! I did, of course! heehee.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks O - she swooned with her head in the clouds and her feet in the soup - now there's an idea for a shortie - I'll post something tomorrow.

        Mine did and she's upstairs right now getting ready to go out - will she ever be ready? LoL Thanks AP

          I've come to understand that "getting ready" to women takes going out to a whole new level. Hope your day was great for both of you.

            Thanks Bill - the painting was only a five minute sketch but it seems okay.

            Michael, beautifully written, and I agree with SL, that last stanza is something else, you may be smug for as long as you want! And for a five minute job, that painting is amazing!
