Love

This is the only time when we are excused for becoming blatant fools
Basking in happy madness
The only time to be totally wrong and swear that we are right
Despite all odds and instincts
And just follow the fickle inclinations of the heart
The only moment before the time
That this feeling would become a mere sickness, a drag
So that we could move on with our lives
Leaving hope and the thirst for more lying dormant in our hearts.

HI Shaun

About the title ... well first this poem is outstanding, I tend to think of this as more like first time in love that love is what allows us to live and the hunger for more or another "first" love seems to be quite different. I am so attached to the truth here relative to the first time I "fell" in love. The beginning and end is perfect - so well done, thanks for posting this :-)

paula buckenham first signs of feeling love, your aspirations and the possible outcome, it evoked images of flights of fancy , young love not at all mature but fresh . paula.
