this poem was actually a request and a gift. I was asked to write a poem about first love...

When you first became fully aware
of the endless possibilities
life could offer
you never knew you had a spine
until that first time
you fell in love
the chills that electrified you
lit up the night sky
and the aurora of you
bloomed before the world
casting it with the color of your soul
