Blind Love. Poem by Kevin East

It wasn't love at first sight.
Moon exploding
In symphonic skies.
Or
White glowing
Shooting star bright.
Like dreams escaping in disguise.
No.
I loved you
Before candlelight
Gave you to my eyes.

Long before we would touch.
I felt your hand,
As mine would clutch
Just the notes
On a vagrant breeze.
Singing solo,
My harmonies,
Were tinkling waters
And silent daughters
Of nature.
Always to dance and sway.
In perfumed sunstruck array.
You see
I loved you anyway.

Before the kiss
Would brush with bliss
My heart.
With feather and trembles.
Blind love
A Goddess resembles.
Like an arrow
Through the soul.
I felt a blue drum roll
As horizons awoke.
And my spirit spoke
To yours.
Still behind closed doors
Fate stopped the clocks.
And we flew with flocks
Above.

No.
It wasn't
Love at first sight.
But whispered promises
Between deepest red sunset
And the sleepy head of dawn.
Where a birdsong minuet
Knew our sunrise
Would be born.
