The First Meeting
By Rocky Dickerson



 

I swim deep within the pools of your eyes
To find myself cleansed from the world outside

The casual brush you make past me knee
A tease
A flirt
A game
A moment where the promise of nights to come
                fill my thoughts

I have only met you tonight and still
                                                I think I know you
As if
I have always known you

Your laugh and I soar through the clouds at
            The joy it brings me

Your scent for me
        Is ambrosia

Did you  imagine that I feel this way?

You look deep into me and
        Tell me your story
I know
I feel you more
Than you know

My watch tells me that hours have passed
        In what I thought were minutes

Did you  imagine that I feel this way?

I'm glad that
    I met you
I know I
        Want you in my life
I want you to
        Call me
I want to make sure
        We'll go out again
I want this all
        Over and over again

Did you  imagine that I feel this way?
