The First Sight
O Belle,
You really stole my heart,
That day I should have been alert
Everything proceeded unprecedentedly
When my gaze fell on you accidentally
Your superb beauty had caught
My heart which nearly stopped
Throbbing.And I stood silent and still
Embellish and adorning your beauty until
I asked to myself it can’t be true
Am I really in love with you?

(Ok, I wrote this poem many many years ago when I had one of those teenage crushes in school. The ‘Belle’ was one year junior to me and I was captivated at the very first sight of her. It appears such a distant memory now! But I’m glad I could recall this as I was wondering what to share for today’s prompt. More so, because most of the participants are writing about love, I guess that’s why my mind got inspired to recall this! 🙂 I am thankful to Rosema and Maria for hosting this nice event! )

You were obviously much more literary when you were younger than I was. My poem about a teenage crush would definitely have started, “Roses are red, violets are blue.”

Awwe! Had to admit, the three of us are madly hopeless romantics (well, most women I guess?). Glad we stirred old memories from you. Hmm, I just want to know. Did Belle ever got the chance to read this one?

No..the funny thing was, I even got to know her name several months later. I had given her a name of my own in my writings. I was in another world altogether 😛
