“A First Love Never Dies” copyright 2014 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

August 2, 2014 by John J. Rigo, Texas' Poet and Commentator

The parks of Savannah, Georgia that we use to walk back in 1960. Picture courtesy of Google image search.

There are times

the sadness just rolls over my chest.

Crushing ocean waves upon my heart.

Memories of you return.

A first love never dies.

Innocence in love’s discovery

of another.

Pure linen wash were we.

Time is a cruel thing.

Relentless in its forward movement.

Removing the taste of the moment

quickly from our lips.

Life was uncomplicated then.

Two lovers walking hand and hand

to a Walgreen’s breakfast for $1,98 each

after church in downtown Savannah.

The year was 1960

a young man of 18 was I

while you a newly 18

off a recent bus from Happy, Texas.

A story book love story

did we own in our shared love.

A first love never dies

but wings through eternity.
