First Love #6 Lisa
By Phil
27 January 2007
High school, early eighties.

First Love #6 Lisa

Bubbly, flame haired Lisa,
Me, a moth to the light.
Friendship never enough for either.

A full fledged fling
Was not the thing.
Never quite mine
Her kiss though – divine.

Phil, I really like this. And those first two lines are, for me, simply brilliant. 'Me a moth to the light' -- ah, those were the days.

Lovely, lovely! As Witzl said - great first two lines. 
 
I'm rather enjoying this little journey you're taking us on!

I loved this - really strong image - now I try to avoid doing this but the first 2 lines are screaming out to me to be rearranged to: 
 
Me, a moth to the light 
of bubbly flame-haired Lisa 
 
or a variation on that theme...couldn't tell you why - i may be talking complete bollocks! 
 
Either way I really enjoyed this one.

Agree with Elli here about the first two lines... and I couldnt tell you why either....so we could both be talking bollocks! 
 
loved this piece, sweet and gentle with an achingly romantic last line.  
 
nice piece
