Once In a Blue Moon.

Once In a blue moon
You meet a girl
Who captures your heart and steals it
Takes your breath and leaves you speechless
Left star struck and dumbfounded
Lying awake in your own dream
You are immortal unaware of your fragile existence
You are not prone to fear or terror for fear and terror are afraid of you
Happiness is existing and your existence is purposeful.

The first poem that I ever wrote... it's not my favourite... but it means more to me than many of the others that I have written...

<<<_ Andrew _>>>

" No Army can conquer a galaxy, yet faith alone can overturn the universe."

the last line of this poem is truly awsome, i really like that line.  i think that looking at the poem as a whole you can definetely see that you've improved as a writer since you've been here, but this is in no way a bad poem.  keep posting all your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Yeah every blue moon is right.  Unfortunately for me, more times than not, I'm waiting for the next blue moon

I find that the first poem is usually one of the best in a collection.  To me it signifies an introduction to a genius too shy to come out full blast.  If this was X amount of months ago when you first wrote it, I would tell you good job and keep posting.

"The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to ocean
Holding the curve of one position
Counting an endless repetition"

This is definitely one of my favs from you, Andrew.  These thoughts are beautiful.  You're luck to have found someone like that.  I enjoyed the read, as always!
Nicely done.

My first poem was an angry one to my mother, that I can't post due to guidelines.     
I really really enjoyed reading this, Zu.  I was thinking as I read it, "this must be one of his elder works."  I could tell because, when writing our first poem, we usually put a lot of our best thoughts down without a thought to "save" them for later, and end up mentioning a lot of things in one poem.
I saw this here.  Great job man!  You're a well of creativity that's not likely to run dry any time soon.
