my first love

Journeying beyond the tall hedge maze

Searching for you through the haze

Still under the spell of our place

Your quaint cottage was love’s base

Where all fears and sorrow allays

I so wish to return to those days

.

My steps they must be retraced

For you cannot be replaced

Nor can these memories be erased

That ecstasy that was your embrace

Your enthralling scent, how you taste

Bodies entwined beside fireplace

.

Friends and lovers interlaced

I’m ever lost in dreams of your face

Feelings not ever destroyed or effaced

Still under the spell of our place

Searching for you through the haze

Journeying beyond the tall hedge maze

    Oh Kayleigh, lassie! You are just writing belter after belter. Honestly. I love the rhyming (and I'm not a fan of rhyming poems), love the imagery and the way you finished this one. "Still under the spell of our place Your quaint cottage was love’s base Where all fears and sorrow allays I so wish to return to those days" and "That ecstasy that was your embrace your enthralling scent, how you taste" and "I’m ever lost in dreams of your face Feelings not ever destroyed or effaced" Are personal highlights, but the whole thing is a sad, beautitul, poignant affair written with such flare and class! Well done!

  • Friends and lovers interlaced. That line spoke to me! I loved your poem so much!
