"First Kiss".......

is a poem about the innocence of youthful love, the grand dreams, the far-reaching plans, and of course, the first sign of affection. Happy St. Valentine's Day to all my readers! Oh, and a small disclaimer here: this poem is an not an autobiographical account of yours truly!!!  ;-)

First Kiss

My love and I went out

Into the west

To view the setting sun

Beyond the crest

We laughed at silly things

As on we strayed

To watch the night descend

And claim the day

We wandered through the woods

With hands entwined

And shared the deepest thoughts

Within our minds

“Ad maioram Dei glorium”,

We wished to fight

To shatter Satan’s sword,

And save the light

Upon the rolling hills

Their lay a spell

And when it first was cast

No tongue can tell

We spoke of golden tales

And sang old songs

Such strains should never die

Until we’re gone

We felt at greatest ease,

Like dearest friends

It seemed that magic hour

Would never end

We saw a falling star

And made a wish

We shared a soft embrace

And gentle kiss

The chilly nighttime breeze

Ruffled my hair

He tucked it back in place

With tender care

The haunting summer moon

Upon us shone

We headed down the hill

And made for home

We lingered by my door

For some small while

We laughed an awkward laugh

And queerly smiled

Then he slipped a ring

Into my hands;

I squealed with sheer delight

As home he ran
