Remember the first time I saw you,
a chance encounter many years past?
Our eyes locked and I felt elation,
truly hoping that feeling would last.
Your gentle nature over-rode doubts,
comforting me like a warm embrace.
Kindred spirits united once more,
within the fabric of time and space.
Allowing me a glimpse of your soul,
you instilled feelings of contentment.
My heart applauded your innocence,
purging all traces of resentment.
Recognizing love as a rare gift,
we indulged in the magic of youth.
Trust opened our hearts, freeing our souls,
guiding each other’s journey to truth.
This bond we share is remarkable,
defeating trouble before it starts.
We built our hopes on mutual trust,
sharing the love in each other’s hearts.

Beautiful poem and fairy-tale dream-come-true feelings. This was wonderful and hopeful and uplifting. A poem meant for dreamers and optimists all over!!! Simply wonderful, Emile.

Oh, man. This is the kind of poetry I am looking for! It's always a chance encounter, isn't it? This poem reminds me of me and my boyfriend. We met two years ago randomly at a football game,had a lovely conversation and never saw each other again, until somehow meeting at a party where we remembered each other. It's so exciting, scary, and yet easy to trust when you find the right person. I like how you didn't force your rhyme at all. The poem isn't too long or too short, and you say everything so powerfully and so concise. I loved the second stanza--"Your gentle nature over-rode doubts,
comforting me like a warm embrace.
Kindred spirits united once more,
within the fabric of time and space."
A beautiful write. Good luck in the contest!
