A Fresh Perspective Poem by TSOHGEHT SHEEHY

That intimate love
The one! ,
Between a man and woman
True!
It's an experience I've yet
to go through
But there's reason's
It was something
I didn't rush into
 
I see how friends
bounce around
from one relationship
to the next
I want my first love
To be the one that lasts
 
No women in my past
A conscious decision
based on the perception
of watching my parents love grow
even thru trials and tribulations
this made a ever lasting impression
 
So I'm not thinking love
is this perfect thing
(How naive)
But for me
I want my first love
To be the women of my dreams
 
The one who side by side
we stand together
No matter what life brings
 
I will treat her like a queen
defend her honor like a king
 
So yes It's true
being in love
is something I've yet to do
But as you can see
I have a good idea
of what it takes
for love to be
more than just three words
That other people use so freely
