Moonlit Kisses

It was snowing in the moonlight
When I first kissed you that time,
Just before a cold Christmas night
To begin our romance sublime.

We swore our love for each other
As snowflakes fell on our faces,
Saying there wouldn't be another
In our hearts or to take our places.

Oh, we shared our ups and downs
In our wonderful teen romance
While I kissed away your frowns,
Blind that our fate was left to chance.

Time and distance drove us apart,
We each went our separate ways.
Soon, someone new stole your heart,
A fact I have rued all of my days.

I still think of that moonlit night,
The snowflakes on your pretty face.
I always felt our love was so right
Since no one has ever taken your place.

In my dreams all I see is you,
Those snowflakes in your auburn hair
And the moonlight kisses we knew,
Then I wake, only to despair.

I never dated anyone with auburn hair. Based on recent studies I feel I missed something. I did have an Ann Margaret fetish and and was announced cured in the late 70s. This poem is causing me a relapse. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30zA-5TY34Q&feature=fvsr It's hard thinking back on past loves...sometimes seems like you can still reach out and touch them. I'm haunted by some myself. Nice poem!

First love is a lasting emotion. The first person to win our heart is always in our thoughts. Sometimes death will take them, but it does not have the power to destroy love. Beautiful poem Carl.

A very poignant write. Memories remember with the warmth of the glowing embers of love. One's first love is never forgotten, somehow that special person and their love live on in one's heart forever. Excellently crafted Carl. The visual detail is stunning! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you for a very Happy Christmas and I wish you a very wonderful New Year too!
