Hi everyone and welcome to my poetry post this week. This is a special one as it will feature in my third novel, currently titled Trust is a Big Word but this may change. The story is set in London and Scotland and follows the friendship of two people who then become involved in an illicit affair; chatting on Twitter begins as a bit of harmless flirtation but quickly escalates into something much more intense and passionate and there’s no going back…or is there? Are Alexander and Maria in too deep? Will they leave the lives they know to be together or will circumstances and old habits keep them apart? Can’t wait to share it with you towards the end of 2019/beginning of 2020.
THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU
The first time I saw you was before you saw me
Walking towards me, consciously unaware I was there
I observed you whole, your walk, your look, your stare
Like an outlined drawing I could now fill in the blanks
The gait of your step, the movement of your swagger
How tall you were and the way you held your head
I averted my eyes to avoid you yet noticing me
I wanted that moment of recognition just right to be
One of held locked gaze, not a crumpled weight
Colours of want and pages of love swept through me
Long felt caresses, silver-edged dreams almost a reality
Melting deep within me, sensations infused me abound
Then you caught my eye, and smiled an open song
A collision of desire and brushstroke this is for real
You took me in your arms and wrapped me in scarlet lust
Our hearts tender, entwined threads of silk in fine gold
A sip of eternity as our lips for the first time touched
Creamy beads I felt release as I breathed a heart’s wisp
And you held me there for seconds but of all eternity
Lost in your strength, a wrap of comfort, love’s creation
Inside the fluttering white wings of angels dusted my heart
