An Anticlimactic First Kiss

An Anticlimactic First Kiss

A Poem by Meanderer
"

A First Kiss

"
I could feel the tickle of the toes
And the lunging tear of the eye
Yet I could not finish what I aspired
Nor imprint what legacies venerated
As an immortal phenomenon
Sublimed in to thin air

I drew you in the midst of passion
Of an uncharted moment
A tryst with destiny, and her wheels
I surrendered like a ship to a lighthouse
Wanting what others possessed
And what I couldn't hold even for a fragment of time

Bliss abandoned me, watered saliva soothed me
Tongues groped blindly
Marooned by the eye lids
I could not sustain my desire
Nor blossom like a flower
Liberated by my lips' virginity
Yet I stood now, a slave to her essence

I interluded, crumbling inside
Caught by destiny's fold
Caged in an anti-thesis
Of what anticipation sculpted
And reality relegated
A flower with no nectar or taste
 
A foray to the unknown, that awoke me
To the pits of expectation
And the thorns of actuality
A first kiss to the labile grip of time
To strange lips that estranged desire
What jostled with fate but rustled to fault

For lips don''t matter
Only the heart beneath her........
