The ART of Love.............the beginning.

I was twelve.
You were eight.
My hair was still blonde.
Yours had just begun to turn dark.

I would watch you through the barbed wire fence that separated our souls.
You, with your father and grand father, working the land.

Me, on my tippy toes, with my grandfather in hand.
We were checking the bee hives.

I thought I might like you,
if ever we met.

(1978)

It's not an event

It's an adventure.

It's also a life long process.

I love it. This one moment. I can see it, smell the perfume of summer, imagine that little girl's heart...

Did you say there will be more? Can't wait!

Love it.

Damn, this is a great poem. Every syllable of every line.
