First Kiss

Lovely dinner

beauty taken in

I shall keep

Just for me

Her radiance

As her glow

matches the candlelight's hue





Is it the wine?

Her eyes?

Her voice?

Magical...mysterious

Her lips seem to beckon

to me





As we dance

I'm so caught up

Her view

Her gaze

Her steps

Moisture

Oh yes,

Sing to me!

Shine for me!

Bring to me!

Cling to me!

Finally





Lips to lips

I shall shun a future moment

Just let me stay

Forever

dismayed

Entrenched

In bliss

Forever

embellished

In our...first kiss
