First Poem by Susan Lacovara

When first, upon you, my eyes laid
Such glare of grace, behold
As if all comets, fell, in line
To sprinkle stardust, gold

When first, upon your lips, a kiss
Wine paled, within compare
The hush, and blush, of berry sweet
Delicious, lasting faire....

When first, embraced, in tender touch,
Our fingers, finding fate
Carried well beyond the moon
To heights, of great escape

When first, your heart spoke words to mine
With no sound from the tongue
Alas my search for welcome home
Restored my soul, to young

When first, our bodies, lay entwined
From dawn to dust, in peace
No longer void, left to be quenched
Such joy, life sweet, increased

When first, I prayed, alone and still
To some, a simple task...
On angel wings, caught, cradled up
When first, you're now, my last
