Their First Kiss

Warm passions stirring to the surface

A childlike touch, tentative, searching, questioning

Charcoal black pupils searching through the window of gold flecked lenses

A quest, hunger and need brewing

A warm hug, perhaps the need assuaged

Perhaps not, ’tis a dance of souls required

She slightly turns her head, the first brush of lips

Trickles of sweat force their way out of unrelenting pores

Hands shaking, her face he delicately frames

Will she let him, a taste of paradise grasp

Her silent consent, her eyes easy to read

As with the birds and bees, the sweet nectar flows

One to the other, a tuneless music heard

The melding of lips, entwining of hearts

For two young lovers, a first kiss shared

  1. Lovely poem of passion. “Will she let him, a taste of paradise grasp”, Maybe it could have read, “Will she let him, a taste of paradisaical grasp”. Maybe?

  2. Ndaba, I think it is actually correct as it is.
