What is the first love poem you ever wrote and then shared with that person?
I see love poems posted here all the time, and I wonder well if you shared it, how did that work out for you? Please share the poem and the results (if you like).
Here’s my first love poem ever that I gave to the woman who became my wife (so it worked out for me). I know it isn’t that long, but I wasn’t used to writing love poetry.
Dark Waters
In the feeling, there is the risk
that we might feel.
To slip beyond touch, the light
caress, to drown in dark waters
beyond knowing
Where words become redundancies.
Where thoughts slow…slow…
Stop.
In the stillness of the moment there is peace.
As the waves retreat,
carrying us beyond our shores.
- Todd
