Maiden Fair

Maiden Fair

A Poem by Nina C Palmer
"

Love at first sight

"

Was it love at first sight,

That eve upon a summer night?

Or perhaps it was just the risen heat

That fell to cool at the evening’s feet.

 

Nonetheless, as he stood there,

I felt as if I was a maiden fair.

Perhaps across a distant land

Where such men kissed a hand.

 

And into a daydream my mind went,

Because his eyes were so heaven sent.

I could stare into them for all days,

With sweet sighs and a longing gaze.

 

His eyes met mine across a field.

None could fathom the fate they yield .

He rose to his feet on a mighty frame.

The flowers spoke and they said his name.

 

My heart beat like a thousand hooves,

As sweat trickled down his bronze grooves.

He gazed upon me and sweetly grinned,

And my breath was caught by the teasing wind.

 

So shall I be a maiden fair,

To this Adonis with golden hair,

And play a game as old as time,

Until the day I make him mine?

 

In a moment I had to decide,

And with such tension I let out a sigh.

He grasped my hand and kissed it light,

And I fell in love at first sight.

Love at first sight...you described the feeling so well...I truly enjoyed the classic form and the couplets seem mesh with ease. Nicely done.
