The First Time

With a fire that burned like passion, the desire to know him finally became real.

Though there was this agonizing pain that pierced through my veins 

And the suppression of the flood is proven to be 

Inevitable as water slowly beings to seep through these empty crevices

That once held the place of my eyes, warm tears began

To trickle down these soft palates called my cheeks,

And the long warm embrace is concluded with a 

Blatant stare that seemed to penetrate my very soul

It was as if he knew me; like he really knew me.

Though this was but our first time together,

He knew what I wanted before my lips could utter a single word. 

It was amazing!

It was as though hours upon hours upon hours passed us by

Alas this was just our first time, my first time, with him

Like hot bullets piercing through flesh, the pain

Of having not know him for so long seemed to have been overwhelming

I felt myself shaking and watched as my lips started to quiver,

I seemed to have a loss of words. 

You see this was something new, a new kind of love at first sight.

This was something different, something real.

Despite all the negative things I'd heard up until this point

I was just happy to be in his presence

Relieved that he actually wanted to know me, 
As deeply as I desired to know him.

I've heard some say that love is synonymous for heaven.

Well if that's true then could it be that 

I had become so complacent in the place I was in 

that I was willing to walk by heaven & never enter it's gates?

Growing up, I could only imagine what this

Experience would be like, and here it is

Here we are sitting face to face.

Father & daughter, after being estranged for so many years

Who would have ever thought it would end,

Or even begin like this....
