Another First Kiss

Fingertips so gentle up my arm
a touch so sweet - light sugar
With eyes closed
I wonder if it is real
or just the wish of all
those nights alone
gliding across my forgotten skin

I wonder how a hand so big
can be so gentle
as you tucked tussled hair
behind my ear
Your thumb grazed
my chin to tip it up
to look into your eyes -
Yours into mine...

A kiss, a first kiss now
with the pulse of you
or me
in my ears
We stand so close
there is no room
for thoughts of
stopping
I don't want to stop
this first melting chocolate
kiss

Lips warm and soft,
parting, gentle,
the tip of your tongue...ahh
firm and moving
oh so slowly
towards my neck...
my earlobe...

I am undone...

A wonderful free verse poem. I highly recommend you to enter this poem in a competition known as Free Verse Free For All. This was absolute moving, and the wording was great, however, more imagery would've brought this poem to a champion level and would have brought it from a good poem to a great poem. Overall: Good Job!

hehe don't even try to resist... always give in to temptation, you never know when it will be around again!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Hi Kath! This had quite a hypnotic feel to it, at least for me...very sensual, too! And the way you ended it, was just...well, what can I say? ( I know. Wow!! )

[Antony]

Nice build up towards that first encounter that had been missing in your life. Your description was very well expressed.

I love it, the deepness of it. I myself am 20 and have yet to have that real closeness with someone, but my only hope is that when it finally comes my way it will be as good as what you've written.

With the sensual etchings of a poet, you express lovely sentiments. The romance here evokes a heavy sigh from this reader. Simply outstanding work, Kath! Lydia

[Thomas Dylan]

This is a really tremendous poem. It has a great rhythm, pauses in all the right places. It could have been sickly and sentimental, but it isn't. And it leaves to our imagination what may happen after the last line.
Have you written much else?
