⭐️“When My Soul First Saw You”

I thought I was just coming to kick it,

maybe laugh a little, pass some time.

I saw your picture and thought, oh, he cute—

just a moment, nothing divine.

But then I saw you face to face,

and God must’ve taken His time.

Because never in my life

had I seen a man so beautiful.

You weren’t just fine…

you were breathtaking.

And when I laid in your arms,

it felt like I’d stepped into a scene

too tender for this world—

a holy kind of warmth,

a film of affection playing in real time.

Your touch didn’t just hold me—

it ignited me.

Electric.

I left your presence still feeling you,

as if your spirit refused to let mine go.

But deep in my mind,

a whisper—

what if he’ll never be mine?

Still…

you gave me hope.

The way you were so affectionate,

so unknowingly perfect

in everything I ever craved,

like a favorite sweet treat

meant just for my lifetime.

I know it was only the first time,

we hadn’t spoken of love—

but my soul…

my soul had already chosen.

It wrapped around yours

like a vine finding home,

knowing without knowing

this was something rare.

Something divine.

They say men are handsome.

But when I looked at you,

I saw something deeper.

You were beautiful.

Beautiful like sunrise after a storm,

like God’s art made flesh.

You went from “he cute”

to the most beautiful man in the world—

to me.

And baby…

I just wish you could see me

the way I already see you.

The poem 'When My Soul First Saw You' ultimately illustrates the enchanting experience of encountering someone who feels soulfully significant. This poignant piece captures the myriad emotions we feel when we first gaze into the eyes of someone exceptional, evoking sensations of tenderness and warmth. Such initial encounters remind us of a universal truth: that love often transcends mere physical attraction, evolving into something magnificent and profound. Moreover, poetry serves as a valuable medium for exploring emotional depths; it allows readers to reflect on personal experiences, forging connections through shared sentiments. The rich imagery and emotion within this poem illuminate the subtleties of attraction, leaving readers to ponder their own moments of serendipitous love. The profound realization that a soul can recognize its counterpart amidst the vastness of existence beckons a sense of belonging that is deeply satisfying. As readers dive into this poem, they may find themselves inspired to articulate their own feelings of admiration and affection, understanding that these connections, whether fleeting or lasting, have a meaningful impact on our lives. Ultimately, poetry encourages us to reflect on our journeys through love and the moments that spark profound change in our hearts.

I read this poem, I can relate to it ❤️‍🩹🥀
Do not speak to me of kindness— I have worn it like a chain; Given hearts with open palms… Only to be fed back pain. I was soft where I should not have been, Loyal past the point of scars; I mistook manipulation For the gravity of stars. For I— Loved with everything I knew, A soul so
