The Feeling
This was the beginning; the first poem I ever wrote. Circa 1982-1983. My first attempt at 'real' poetry. Falling in love for the first time. And yes, we eventually married. It was easier to say I love you in words...

As you turn out the lights
and the mood begins to slow,
you come a little closer
and the love begins to flow.
I really can’t explain it,
but you mean a lot to me.
I seem to lose control
and you take it all, you see.
I never know what happens
because you do it, oh, so good.
We wonder it it’s wrong,
Oh, it never could.
I want to tell you one thing,
I’ll always be around.
Because people just don’t leave
a place where love abounds.
But the night comes to an end
and we must say good-bye.
The feeling of a sadness,
it seems we just can’t hide.
As the taillights fade farther
farther down the road,
you wonder if the feeling
you have, I hold.
The feeling no need to wonder,
it’s true that we both share.
We’ll forever be together.
Together, we’ll make it there.
