"Just one look"

   This few months in Literature Poetry we had read three poems. With this three poems of differents topics we had to create our own poem with the following rule: A poem which describes what you find when you are coming home. (As in "Coming home") A poem describing how your parents met and fell in love. (As in "Stabat Mater") A poem which describes someone you really like. (As in "She was a phantom of delight"). I choose A poem describing how your parents met and fell in love. Here is my work:

"Just one look"

A message of help 

A brother in law in need.

A common office

A destiny that no one saw coming

My dad walks in.

A woman walks in.

A look and my dad felt

hundreds of feelings. 

It was love at first sight.

But she was already taken. 

With the work done.

My dad went home.

In his mind,

someone had taken the most important place.

She was the one.

Days passed and the woman was free, 

no boyfriend, no other man.

First,

some chocolates.

Then,

lunch.

Later,

some nights out.

Love had knocked at their doors. 

Wedding bells, a new house, crying babies,

trips, fights, diseases, laughs, memories.

The most important and wonderful years

of their life,

as they describe it.

Now,

twenty years later,

With just one look 

both feel what my dad felt 

the first time.  

True love.
