Poetry: A kiss

by K.B. Myers

Created on: July 31, 2008   Last Updated: November 15, 2008

First Kiss

The awkward walks
The random talks

The playful tickles
Goofy giggles

Eyes lock
The laughter stops

Nerves and anticipation
Sweaty palms and light headed sensations

Bodies brush
Blood begins to rush

One deep breath; then two
Minds contemplating what to do

One moves forward
Another inward

Now a whisper apart
Mind at the ready; body waiting to start

Hearts racing faster
Will this be a memorable event or a devastating disaster?

Mind and body in constant contradiction
Mind shouts don't move too fast; body longs for the sensation

The trembling begins
A battle between body and mind; body wins

Now all those events have led up to this
A moment just before that one first kiss
