Love Poem: First Kiss

First Kiss

You scan the room
eyes meet 
smiles are spawned

Blushes shared
sideways glances
embarrassment cascades

The dance has begun
awkward moments multiply
rituals are invoked

Stares become contests
flames of desire kindled
yearning turns to wanting

Time stokes the embers
into uncontrolled heat
that cannot be squelched
 
Days become longer
nights intolerable
until

That moment 
where lips meet 
and lust is born
