You Were the First to Throw a Kiss You were the first to throw a kiss In light of morning sun You edged the way with promises And hope for things to come Until this moment everything Was clouded in a haze And life could only weary sing In never-ending maze My footpath is more well defined My face is more aglow My eyes are bathed in season’s wine And joy is all I know My spirit has been captured In most unexpected ways My heart has been enraptured In the thoughts of future days Oh, how I’ve longed to see your face Appear in dawn's sweet hour May coming days your essence grace With pure and splendid flower I thank you for the joy you bring Despite the morning chill White crocuses, first blooms of spring And next comes daffodil Elizabeth Santos |

Fresh breath of spring air, ahh! Feel the crispness of morning Then caress the suns warm rays Buds are now upon the trees Fragrance soon will fill our days Lilacs will be full in bloom Their fragrance like no other Love is blooming everywhere Wafting scents our senses smother <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |

My footpath is more well defined My face is more aglow My eyes are bathed in season’s wine And joy is all I know My spirit has been captured In most unexpected ways My heart has been enraptured In the thoughts of future day ------------ Liz, this is exceptional...there is something about it...the way it effected me, or the things it brought out in my heart...I cant define it..I just felt it... proof of your talent... i think this is one of my most favs of the many of yours I have read... very nice... take care, jm Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules Do you care what is thought by others about you If this day is all that is promised to you Do you live for the present, the future the past... tracy chapman |

edged the way with promises what a lovely phrase that is and altogether a light and happy springishness to the poem, the first delicate blossom of new love. Can you tell I like it ? "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." -Aristotle |

Not only a delicate feeling of springtime flows here, but the promise of a new season of the heart, as well, I suspect. Beautiful writing, Liz. ~ Claire |

Liz, this is a beautiful poem, as always... but you did mislead me with the title, I made myself ready for a love poem! LOL "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |
