They say you never forget your first love...
The first girl that ever stole your breath away...
They say that it stays with you forever...
Locked into your structure...
A part of your makeup.
I heard her voice again last night and she wiped away so many years...
Took me back to an innocence so long ago lost...
I destined to wander this life another way as she went hers...
She always a part of me even when I tried to distance myself from memories...
We playing in the yard of a tenement in Babylon...
Her voice that of child as mine was then...
I having no idea of the powers that were in motion...
She has become the ideal in my scribe when I write of unification...
The fantasy when I reach into the well from which I draw these things...
Hers is the face that haunts my writing soul...
Soft soap and fresh skin...
My very first love has endured these tests of all this time...
Never to be forgotten...
She has become inspiration personified.
