Virgo by Alicia Rades

Welcome to Part Three of my 12-part Zodiac Blog Series. On Tuesdays in autumn I'm posting a story or poem each written especially for this blog by a different author. Each piece of writing has taken one of the signs of the zodiac as its inspiration. For the full list of participants - from established authors to first-time writers - plus the posting schedule and links to previous stories and poems, please visit the Zodiac Blog Series Page.

This week I bring you a poem inspired by Virgo, written by Alicia Rades. I  know nothing about poetry so I'm glad somebody has written some for my blog for me!

Alicia recalls writing her first poem at the age of 8. As she grew up, she filled notebooks with poetry and song lyrics. When she was 17, she started freelance writing and continues writing today. Visit her blog at TheWritingRealm.com, and then check her out on Facebook and Twitter.

Virgo

My hands tremble

As our lips meet

Adrenaline rush

Is so sweet

As you smile

My heart races

There’s joy in

Both our faces

Our bodies collide

For the first time

The way you move

Is like the perfect rhyme

In the moment

I lose myself

Caught up in you

And overwhelmed

It’s all emotions

Rolled into one

Happiness, joy,

Thrills, and fun

You touch me gently

You care for me

It was everything

I thought it could be

I catch my breath

And ponder how

I never knew love

Until right now
