'Twas yesterday when we first kissed, my love"
When dreams revisit innocence and youth
The sweetest distant memory I view
One instant, an awakening in truth
The wonder of the moment I kissed you
All sweetness seemed to live within your eyes
Forever will the memory persist!
Enfolded in the magical surprise
Contained within the moment of our kiss
Astonishing emotions filled the air
The universe quite simply disappeared
Enchanted, mesmerized yet so aware
Discovering what lovers hold so dear
Though days have fled and dimmed as stars above
'Twas yesterday when we first kissed, my love
In a world full of unknowns and secrets, poetry becomes a means of survival, a way of coping. Through poetry, we learn to deal with change, to come to terms with joy and grief, and to celebrate the wonder still to be found in the extraordinary energy of daily life. Because of this aspect alone, poetry cannot be limited by definitions. It is an art of language that cannot be communicated or fathomed other than by the use of poetry itself!
