‘Falling in love’

‘Falling in Love’
timothyrgates,5/3/2018
a little boy,
seeing those same eyes,
translucent blues. 
teens feelingly the 
moon kiss the sun,
like eternity’s precipice,
a youth’s hippie dance
matching such stars.
a little girl,
with her own pirouettes -
well, not yet,
though in her eyes they’re seen -
“grass will not touch my feet,”
also found in a look of displeasure. 
falling in love,
“it’s only puppy love,”
is thrown at youths,
forgetting that love is love,
young, or old. 
watch the awe looks in wee ones, looking up,
fireworks ablaze, erupting in,
“Wowwww!” 
remember looking across the room, 
beholding that heartthrob,
why it can hurt like hell as well. 
teens first broken hearts,
“it hurts deep into your bones, your heart feels like it’s being ripped out,”
why when they fall for good
it’s more than puppy love.  
falling in love,
nothing better,
unless you trip onto your face. 
that hurts like hell.
