There was one time, Oh, I remember well, You and I danced. My first taste of desire, your lips. My first temptation, Unfulfilled, and I miss you even still. There was a second time, And a third, then more. You and I spoke. My first taste of intimacy, Your mind. My first thirst for knowing, Your soul. And there was the time You showed me salt on pizza, The only way I eat it now, My first taste of flavor. So much of you remains with me, And I savor those precious scenes So embedded in my memory. |

Dixie, yes, somewhat -- although love exists, it justs goes out into the universe somewhere waiting to fall on some lucky pair and test their devotion and maturity. It's late, sorry if I'm wandering. Hope you're doing alright! |

This is one bound to bring stories... I've only let myself fall in love once so far (I'm sixteen). And I swear I'd have given him everything and married him, despite how obvious it became that we were wrong for eachother. We were together for a year and a half, never even kissed... but I know I'd have made ever sacrifice apart from giving up my God to love him if he'd have let me. I still love him... I don't know how some people can love and forget, doesn't make sense to me... I guess that wouldn't hurt as much though. I need to be more shallow lol Oh, ddi I mention I love the poem? Sorry, heh, its late! Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |

Love is never wasted once it's tasted! Even when the flavour dissipates, or becomes bittersweet, the memories of that "First Flavor" can keep us warm even when there is little to savor in the present. I was really touched by this tender poem and it conjured up some pleasant memories of my own! Love & Light, EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (03-26-2004 09:58 AM).] |

You brought me back some lovelies and I know a review of this in times to come will bring back even more... I'm going to have to build you your own shelf in my library, ma'am... |

Nicely done. Yes, I believe that love remains part of the "collective", and stays extant. (And a thank you for your kind comments) |

First flavor states so well that overwhelming overload of senses sensual and tiniest moments living first loves create valleys deep and oceans wide in all INSIDE well done "High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy." |

Some come into out lives and .....simply stay put! Enjoyed iliana Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. (by Virginia Woolf) |
