Taste of First Kiss

A sonnet

He kissed my lips sweet with tear drops and fear

Wings of a creature now fighting for flight

soar deep in my soul wings that feel and hear

A new life escaped into me with light

         

He has now touched the inside of my eyes, 

has seen me inside and out from above

When his kiss entered my mouth like smooth ice

my belly bubbled and trembled then love

 

Flipping and floating on air that is thin

he is inside my head my feet my womb

His breath catches my sense of smell again

I have experienced from him love loom

 

I have searched for you my love, for all this

time away from you was missed in your kiss

This is my first attempt at a sonnet. Please feel free to give criticism

First of all, you should leave the appropriate space between the stanzas, as it's done in sonnets.

It's: 4 lines + space + 4 lines + space + 3 lines + space + 3 lines = sonnet!! =)

Also, the idea of a 'first kiss' that you're trying to deliver is kind of lost in that random description.

This is sweetly romantic. I love the poetic skill too.

Can you be more specific on how it is confusing? It makes sense to me :) obviously since I wrote it, but I want to be able to appeal to reader's as well. I wanted to capture the butterfly feeling of fluttering all over the place, not being able to place your finger on exactly how you feel when the first kiss happens...if that makes sense. Thanks for the review!

i think the idea of a first kiss is lost within this concept of love that you present as well. The lines should flow a little more together i think maybe try following the path the kiss takes through your body and thoughts ya know like this line "When his kiss entered my mouth like smooth ice
my belly bubbled and trembled then love" the flow there just confuses me...


um

to me a first kiss
tells you so much
and so little
it feels [and fills] you with lies

for the most
part
it tricks you
