My First Love

My First Love

I saw a caterpillar 
 Immediately thought could be it's pillar

Though was not easy to pick from the green environment 

The camouflage was way too concealing 
A complete tender twig in its freshness

Colourful at close range 
Clear in the window of my eyes
Dazzling dots of rainbow 
A beauty and total awe at eye sight

She completely caught my attention 
I became motionless,
Speechless 
Yet my heart picked up a rhythm 
A lure irresistible to every inner living

I had to pick it i knew a butterfly would result
Sweetness would engulf and the future would be bright

And so the long adventurous walk took off
So locked into each other 
Oblivious in everything of anything 
Only the two of us existed 

We were both young 
Sweet memories with such luminaries 
She is now a woman 
And I a man...
