When I First Saw You Softly, did my eyes consume you When first laid upon your face Captivated pupils drawn to Sweet demeanor of your grace Like a slumbering child about to fall into a dreamers place Not a youthful striking figure Nor the contour of a brow Nor the luring lips’ enigma Nor the poise that God endowed Were enticing eyes to gather fruits from off the laden bough These were only petals turning Outwardly to grasp the sun Secretly my eyes were burning With desires that had begun To unravel inner splendors likened to no other one Eyes of innocence revealing Pearls of honor, gems of truth Gentle ways and tender feelings That an honest heart seduce Love can paint from wisdom’s palette, the inherent whims of youth Elizabeth Santos |

Wow...that's nice!!! Lovely words to describe that very special moment of time. Bridgette  "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." A. Brink |
