A Love Poem

The first time I saw you

Couples crowded tables cawing away

Paper cupids flew around firing

30 speed dates and I was exhausted

The sticky-sweet food

and loud colors

ringing in my mind.

But then

you came in

and my breath stopped

I didn't move

I couldn't do anything about

my eyes bulging

my mouth maybe opening

Someone help this lady,

she's having a heart attack!

It was only later I could think

There is nothing quite like love

To know that people in totally foreign

lands and times

felt exactly the same way

The same stop

Love is an eternal pause

running through humanity

vintage
