Elegy Of Love Poem by Angela Brown

When I fell in love, you were the one.
I was your crescendo, a metaphor for love.
I was a young thang, an innocent virgin.
I admired you from afar and fell in love at first sight.
For the first time I made love, uncertain of who I was
I did not understand relationships or who to be with.
We came to make love unexpectedly, my eyes shut tightly,
You told me you needed me to trust.
I was afraid something would come between us.
At the time of emotional disparity
It felt so good it was a sweet parody.

Deep emotions came upon us,
I saw oceans unfold into waves;
I saw the rain pour down from heaven;
I heard thunder clap its hands loudly;
I tasted the water quench my thirst;
I smelled the sweet nectar of perfume between us.
It was a quiet moment that dare not end
It was the pleasure of this moment I had sinned.
It was a moment of distress
Tears flowed down my cheek and digressed.

And through this moment of passion,
A long stem rose appeared, Wuthering heights was near.
A spiral stair case, a babbling fire
A feather underneath my feet, fulfilling my desire.
The shape of your mouth as you snore, the snare of your body as you roar
The slur of your speech, walking barefoot on the beach.
The grain of sand in my hand, sustaining in time
A still born lost in memory left splinters in my mind.
And the deep velocity of the universe never stops counting rhymes
And the illusion of love lives eternally in time.
