Poem: Love At The First Sight Essay, Research Paper

Love at First Sight

Do I believe in love at first sight?

Forgive the laugh,

but the question is so naive!

Youthful fancies hardly encompass the complexities

of mature relationships.

True, you are quite beautiful,

but one cannot know

true inner beauty at first glance.

It’s much deeper

and takes time to be revealed.

Your skin is perhaps softer than the flowing foam of

some gently murmuring distant shore,

but what of it?

That’s not love.

I do notice that your hands are more graceful

than a ballet of swaying boughs and your laughter a dance

of dappled sunlight.

And in your eyes are glimmering pools of joy and tenderness,

warm swirls of innocence and passion, playfulness and

understanding.

And in your eyes, Beauty laughs and plays and sings

and calls my name.

And Trust with Caution pleads and cooing Passion intervenes,

and Grace extends her open arms, and I surrender silently.

But love at first sight?

How can it be?
