The First Kiss
In the dim light your arms reach out to me, head tilted to receive my kiss.
Our lips touch, and there is the soft warmth of summers thunder in my
chest. The dream is real! The impossible exists, yet it can't be true.
Your body lifts upward, and I know you are on your toes to reach
me. Excitement pounds in my head.. Our lips part, yet we remain in firm
embrace. I cannot speak, or breathe. Afraid, that in the next instant you'll
be gone, the dream over.
I hear the sounds of night. A distant car, a movement in another
room. I'm aware of your breathing. The sound of happiness in your voice
so close to my ear. I kiss the smoothness of your face, and your eyes close.
I seal them with a kiss and I am overwhelmed, my joy complete!
