Apologies if my interpretation is wrong, but this reminded me of the day I fell in love with the woman I love. 

That overwhelming love at first sight feeling. I love the first two lines. Your brain living an entire lifetime with them in a matter of seconds.


Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

*Oh love, your touch* 

*On skin yet foreign*  

*We spoke not at all* 

*With words*  

*Instead in laughs*  

*And interlocked sight*  

*Of roses in flowerbeds*  

*And gulls atop the ocean*  

*Guided like old sailors*  

*By the lighthouse*  

*Beneath the moon*
