First Love Beyond the Panorama April 19, 2021

First Love

Written by Swetha Narayanan

That night, we sneaked into the carousel,

The moonlight casting us in a love spell;

Our eyes met, spurting love in the air,

Lasting a few moments, impacting an eternity;

That pair of blue eyes with captive charm,

Akin to the twinkling stars in the welkin,

Put me in a profound trance, a reverie,

Deeply etched in the depths of my soul.

I distinctly remember the vibrant hues,

Of carousel lights shimmering in the dark;

Sparks of love, igniting our thirsty souls,

Entwining our hearts, weaving a fairy tale;

Now – years later, I pass by the carousel,

And my eyes well up a little, my heart aches;

But a smile creeps in – pure and tender,

Washing away the pain of our unfinished tale;

I gaze at the stars over yonder wondering,

If you still remember the glances we stole;

Because you were an oasis amidst a desert,

A flicker of hope on a dark, gloomy night;

You were my first love, and my little secret,

My happy place, and my soul’s safe haven;

Yet, you were only a beautiful dream – that,

Faded into a puff of gold dust when woken!
