The First Time!

(A love poem to recall on Valentine's Day)

The first time I took her hand
It trembled faintly
Yet noticeably
Like a wild bird's fluttering heart
In the hand of its captor

The first time I kissed her

Her heart raced
And when I touched her skin

I felt her pounding heart
Through my fingers

The first time we made love

Was the first time
For us both
And in our passionate embraces
Our senses were over loaded
The first time became many times

Though we are older now
The passion is stronger
Our senses fine-tuned
We are one soul mates
We share the same shadow
