First Date Poem by Ravi Kopra

First Date



My eyes already touched you
You were standing by the fountain in the park
And I, far ahead in my thoughts of you
I said to myself: she is my love

It gave me a new life of love
Even before saying hello, how're you
I was feeling one with you, in love with you
A wind of love blew, swept me off my feet.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A Walk - Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke

My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far ahead of the road I have begun.
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has inner light, even from a distance-

and charges us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave...
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.

Translated by Robert Bly

- Rainer Maria Rilke
