Discovering Love Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Start with a click of the heels… beginning with the onset of adolescence
Remarkable emotions surface…as physical changes trigger an attraction
Entering a domain of the unknown…eagerly yet shyly ready to experience
Looking forward to a relationship that will give completeness and satisfaction

Opposites they say…have a magnetic pull that for some reason toys
Tickling sensory detectors…that could easily set off a smoke alarm
When eyes meet…girls blush as they hear the lower octaves of boys
Seeking opportunities… giving a smile that exudes with radiant charm

In the visions of boys and girls there are differing mirror views
Depending on objectives…outcomes often create a puzzle
Night and day…trying to reach a common ground without clues
With starry dreams of romance that bedazzle as well as frazzle

Without a prewritten script…how do they respond and ultimately discover?
The days grow into years; the path is clearer as a significant other appears
Beyond the physical …a wonderful glow emanates… a guiding light hovers
The crowd narrows with a fusing embrace… cherished love fills the sphere
