RADIATE LOVE ❤️
our very first date… Anne Mc’Namara
with your wavy, long brown hair
a blue summer dress and white cardigan
me, in my very best short pants
did you ask me out
or was it me who asked?
i don’t remember
we met outside the gate of the house
between your house and my house
in full view of all
we weren’t mindful
neighbours peeking
through their window curtains
we stood facing each other
engaged in chatter
happy moments, contentment
Anne Mc’Namara
my Niamh of Tír na nÓg
romance, eternal youth
you raised your white cardigan
out to each side, i stepped closer
and you braided us both within
hidden from the world
just you and me
we kissed, a peck of sorts
two children we were
of five or six
fixated in the moment
remains now only the memory
a framed photograph hung
on the wall of my mind
me and Anne Mc’Namara
shrouded by her white cardigan
our very first date…
