Reflection On My Soul

photo by Tess Kincaid

I can never forget this day last year

When I saw you for the first time

That's when I believed in love at first sight

In one glance, I had made you mine

Your slender frame perfectly teased

And those dark blue eyes spoke to me

My heart was bound in poisoned barb

One look from you set it free

Your silky black tresses swayed to music

I watched you with a smile on my face

There was something so positive about you

Every wound of mine you seemed to erase

Your red lips sang a tune of its own

Capturing me with every unsaid word

I had won and lost on the same day

Love does this to people I have heard

I wanted to come and talk to you

There was a lot that I had to say

Looking at you, my body stood frozen

I couldn't find my own way

One blink and then you disappeared

I looked for you all over the place

There was not even a glimpse of you

Everything suddenly felt like empty space

I have never seen you since that day

Sometimes I wonder if you were actually there

Or did you come just to heal me

Sprinkling pixie dust on me with care

I hold on to those memories forever

That was the first time I have felt whole

Years may pass and I may not find you

But your reflection is present on my soul
