The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time, ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless sky

And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like the trembling heart

Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command
My love

And the first time, ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy

Would fill the earth
And last, ’til the end of time
My love

The first time, ever I saw

Your face
Your face
Your face
Your face

Thursdays are for flowers! This flowertography session is a bit of a short one. It took place in my yard with the old Sweet 22.

Next Thursday’s flowertography session will also take place in my yard.
