Love Poem: Fragment

Fragment

You’ll always remember 
that first time 
his hand 
brushed against yours
and your eyes locked 
in that instant

A chemical reaction 
set off a rollercoaster 
in your stomach
it ran out of control
could not be stopped
never to end

Extra-ordinary excitement
stolen glances 
across the distance
enough to make you stutter 
as you trip 
over your thoughts

Eyes holding 
passion and desire
lips promising 
soft melting delights
hands clasped 
around fingers of expression

Cheeks colouring 
in the fragmented light 
of your shyness
while sweet perfume 
wafts tantalisingly 
in the sultry air of love
