Kismet

(a little light romance)

when our lips met in breathless tender touch

as eyelids drew their blinds on bustling world

let memories of that moment's state of bliss

reside inside our minds for all of time

as butterflies chased moonbeams in night's dark

two hearts entwined like grapes grown on a vine

while stars saluted pathways edged in bright

those feet were floating six feet off the ground

the axis of the planet came adrift

all sense of time departed when we kissed

Hello, Christine! That's a serious kiss. Be careful, you're liable to get lost in space behaving like that. Haha
Thanks for sharing.

[Chris Shaw]

First kiss, can't you remember feeling a bit heady? As though you were floating lol. Thanks Mattavelli.

My first kiss was part of a lusty sofa experience. And embarrassingly, I had a bit of adrenalin shakes. Haha

[Chris Shaw]

Memorable though eh?

[Dave]

Soaring, yes soaring! It isn't possible to forget that first kiss!

Take care - Dave

[Chris Shaw]

You are so right there Dave. Thank you. Take care.

Strangely, my mind as reading this happens to project a vivid imagery of this. Really, like the imagery and the words just flows smoothly. I am intrigued by what could have inspired you to write an amazing piece.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Lavi. From a memory a long time ago. Pleased you liked the imagery. I try to paint pictures with words.

Chris

[John Cardwell]

A kiss says so much.
A kiss remembered in sweet bliss.
Captured beautifully in this piece.
Nicely done.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Melinda.

And you sigh at the thought and replay it over and over again, never really minding how goofy the smile on your face was at the time, too happy to do anything about it and just live in that moment again and again.
Ps... I bet that goofy smile is back ay the thought of it ☺️

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Lorry :)

Sweet delight woven within these lines... how sumptuous.... only yesterday I wrote about my last kiss.... a short somewhat sad piece which I haven't shared.
