Never Ending Love Affair

white jasmine and lilacs

the sunset was hung

with purples and pinks

still I was quite young

the first time I met him

the last day of school

I was not looking

but he seemed quite cool

so demure, he was sitting

near the library door

somehow I never saw him

though I'd been there before

.....romance from him dripped

so I came back each day

and on that very spot

we would make love and play

he led me to feel

things I had never felt

he forced me to see things

with which I never had dealt

 since that first day I found him

this affair had begun

we shared sweet romance

Spring love

 Summer fun

nutmeg stories in Autumn

and soft winters haze

so I vowed I would love him

til the end of my days

nothing and no-one

 made me feel quite the same

I fell deeply in love

Poetry was his name

[Frieda P]

Now you're just trying to confuzzle me. ;-)

[shallimarRose]

lolol... shallimarRose is my pen name.. On all other sites I had been known as shallimar untill 2 1/2 years ago when I joined a site that had a chat room.. Noone wanted to type shallimar.. so
chris and a couple of others called me shall or shalli but most branded me with Rose so now I am known mostly as "Rose" birthname Barbara Ann but there are just too many of us with that name..

[Frieda P]

Definitely easy to fall in love with, but oh so moody. :)

Very nicely done sweet Rose. Indeed poetry is a love affair.

[shallimarRose]

Thank you Jack... yes very moody ...lol My love affair with Poetry began when I was about twelve or thirteen though I had written and rhymed before that... xo Rose

[Alia ZJ.]

I found this interesting. Especially how you linked up poetry as a masculine. There's a neat flow too, hence a good poem! :)

[shallimarRose]

Well I had to make it a male to work my theme and also one of my first real loves in poetry was Robert Frost. Thank you for reading and the review.. Glad you came back. shallimarRose

[Alia ZJ.]
