First Kiss

~ a Spanish Sestet or Sextilla ~

art ~ svetlana valueva

 

 

~~~

I won't forget the lovely bliss

of tender warmth found in a kiss

that left a blush upon my cheek

‘twas softer than a butterfly

whispering through a crystal sky

light as a breath, no words to speak

 

Just peacefulness surrounding me

as flowers bloomed in harmony

and in the trees, I reminisce,

of birds in song weaving sunbeams

around my heart and now it seems

I won't forget summer’s first kiss

~~~

Breathless as I reminisce through your weaving sunbeams of romance. Upon the cheeks of innocence is the first kiss as a virgin butterfly. Bravo............

Love is perfect no matter what the season but there is always something so magical about summer love. The warmer mornings, the spring in the step and longer days to enjoy this precious love. Your a master of love my dear:)

My first kiss, set me to thinkin, where was it,? They all wanted to crowd together so it was hard to slow em down and listen to your poem .Then I was left confused Summers first kiss, did not know you knew Nancy,But weather, a blue norther , can kiss, make you turn your horse put his tail in the wind, freeze your chaps,even gran-paws wooly's,the snow piled and blown blocking, takes a poem like yours a first kiss to make me blush as I ride boots just wooden chunks in the stirrups,Oh, don't worry about my blush know one will see cause the thick scarf you knitted is covering all but a slit for my eyes, well you did not really knit it but the way you pattern the words I imagine you could Knit one pearl two ,Peaceful will be the fire, if I can just get on home.

Good thing kisses are more spontaneous, not wrapped in a form cause I would still be waiting for my first... Julie, this poem is hardly spontaneous, and yet I think you've had many first kisses, not many men necessarily, but kisses that feel and taste like the first, soft, sweet and passion filled. Kinda like this poem.... it's beautiful...
