# First Time I Missed A Heart Beat... Poem by Mamta Agarwal
# First Time I Missed A Heart Beat...
At fourteen I was just too ill at ease,
Tall for my age, boys would constantly tease…
They would snigger, and say here comes giraffe
I wished like Alice, I could shrink, as they laughed.
At a distance I saw a handsome new comer,
Glance at those boys with kind of displeasure.
Briefly our eyes met, and I felt he said,
I am here you really need not be afraid…
To my surprise, in the chemistry lab,
I discovered we had been paired.
Clumsily we tried to study our salts
There was some commotion in my heart…
Gradually we started to walk to school,
At times go for a swim to the near by pool.
One day he showed up at my door,
And self consciously asked for a favour.
Could I help him with homework,
As alone he found it hard to focus.
As soon as we were alone our eyes met,
He wanted to say something, but was hesitant.
Awkwardly he pulled me and planted a kiss
Before I could avert my face, on my lips.
After he left, I felt a kind of liquid heat
And blood travel up to my cheeks…
I felt warm and I think I blushed
Could it be I had my first crush?
Just then my naughty younger sister came
And said you look silly smiling to yourself.
a chnace smile/a stolen kiss...many more firsts remain forever secure within several layers!
Mamta, it only had to happen once, for you to recall a special moment from your past. First kiss, has now become a lovely poem for us all to enjoy. Giraffe's! ! now they are my favourite creature, 'beanpole neck, head perched high, huge brown eyes with lashes long, a mouth with curling toungue, a face a human one that smiles and smiles. Bob
I felt warm and I think I blushed Could it be I had my first crush? Rachel Ann Butler
