The Night I Met You The south wind blew mellow Grass was covered in dew The pale moon shone brightly On the night I met you The mist on the ocean Was just starting to rise Breath caught for a moment When I looked in your eyes The depths of my own soul It reflected was there And just for a moment Became too much to bear You mirrored all my fears All my hurt and my pain You pulled me in gently As it started to rain The downpour refreshing We could not feel it’s chill It ended abruptly And the night became still I heard your heart beating It was so near to mine Two hearts became one heart Beating rhythms in time We walked by the ocean Saw the lights from the ships You pulled me in closer As you first kissed my lips Were the stars that I glimpsed In the skies or my mind? Were the feelings I felt Dreams that I’d hoped to find? Was it cool when we met That night in November? I was lost in your eyes And I can’t remember ------------------ This is courage...to bear unflinchingly what heaven sends. ~Eurpides |

Hoot! I love this! I grew up at the ocean, met my first love there, and I can see myself in this poem. I can also envision you and your love as well. The imagery is perfect. Corinne |
