POEM 1 FROM IMAGES

Your first love is supposed to be devastating, leaving an impression on you for life. Tinged perhaps with regret but full of the flames of your first encounters of desire and ambition and lust for life, they say, as well as the appreciation of a person you get to know more intimately than others.

“The future for me is already a thing of the past - You were my first love and you will be my last” Bob Dylan

Seeing you

Seeing me

I crumble

In a cloud of ecstasy.

“This is the very ecstasy of love, whose violent property fordoes itself and leads the will to desperate undertakings, as oft as any passion under heaven that does afflict our natures.” Shakespeare
