Poem: The First Time

By Kobe Eru Godwin  

Never like the first time we met Eyes like Diamonds in a field of snow Never like the first words she said Like pathway created by water, she flows Never like the first walk we had Moments to remember, the wind behind our back A cold day in September Never like the first kiss, lips velvety Dark like penumbra Never like the first time distance came in between With my mind she played like the strings of a Violin Never like the first letter she wrote Each word a rhythm, I felt every note With distance came argument Never like the first time, Apology made love permanent Never like the first time we painted ourselves with the colours of the night Your arms, your embrace I’m lost in your sight Never like the first time, she pulled me close and whispered It February 14th Remember it’s our First Time.
