When I first knew you
in our younger days.
I was taken by your smile
the jewel within your face.
A face which was so beautiful
and still is now today.
Just like the beautiful person you are
in all you do and say.
You have always been so easy to love
whether from near or far.
That’s not so hard to understand
it’s just the way you are.
And long ago I realised
all I ever wanted to do.
Was just to be in love with you
and for you to love me too.
About Me
- Tim Kitchen
- It was certainly a new experience for me when I first started writing Poetry. I remember of course my father Fred Kitchen had written numerous poems, so maybe it’s in my genes. I certainly was not a person who appreciated poetry at all and to be honest, I still sometimes find it difficult to enjoy or understand poetry written by other people. However, I do take a lot of pleasure from listening to and reading the lyrics of songs. I will never be a Wordsworth or a Taupin but none of us should be afraid of just being ourselves and doing things our own way. Although I didn’t actually start writing poetry until well into middle age, it has certainly given me a fulfilment I would never have thought possible. My inspiration comes from a variety of directions but it would be wrong of me to offer too much explanation. I believe people read a poem or listen to the words of a song and relate to it in their own way.
