I wrote this poem in 1982. I had flashbacks, then. Flashbacks of times past. Flashbacks of my first love. What it meant to me. Moments spent together. Moments that could never be forgotten. As I look back through time, I think of my first boyfriend. His love. My naivete. The sweetness. And then, the sorrow, because I had to let him go so he could live his life with love and forgiveness. I had to let go of the hurt and bitter feelings I had within.
Richly Woven
In the dawn,
And
In the dusk
I feel your gentle caress
Upon my sweet lips.
I feel the blistering heat
Of your tantalizing touch.
I feel the twinkling of your visions
Through the vividness of your sweet smile.
Your chestnut glow gazes
Into my emerald eyes.
I feel the warm blanket
Of your heart protecting me
From the darkness of our shadows.
Together, we weave an invisible quilt
Abundant in rich colors,
Shielding us from the harm that is to come.
With this richness,
Comes durability
Bestowed upon us
It will resist
The soulless of souls,
And is
As resilient as the tempest
That burns aglow!
No one,
No one,
Can ever tear the twine
Of our interlocking
Lace of love!
Kittens radiate truth, love and healing
