Of All Beginnings Poem by Meriam Joseph

First year of all beginnings
Seated in a quiet lighted room
Trying to keep myself occupied
But that's when you entered the room

Blue shirt, coffee eyes
Turn casual the new cool
And I'd heard you were leaving
But staying here is what you'll do

Deep steady eye contact
Piercing into my soul
And all I've said is goodbye
But secretly I'd talk to you more

As voices echo off walls
I steal glances at you
Your dimples so fit
Like beautiful eclipses few

Closer and closer every second
Till no one knows of distance
Smile and I'll be alright
You make all the difference

Alas! I'd never tell you this myself
I should've wrote this soon
Feared I'd be rejected
Terrified I'd be your doom

And yes, I'm made of poison
The kind that's bittersweet
But you tell me poison heals poison
And I've done no evil deed

I'm sorry, so sorry
So, here's my apology
You may never know ‘tis ‘bout you
But I hope someday you do

You'll forever live with a saint's name
A saint's face and holy thoughts
We come from the same place
A land where battles were never fought

This is the first year of all beginnings
I'll sit in a quiet lighted room
Try to keep myself occupied
And that's when you'll enter the room
