First Kiss

First Kiss

I had never felt before that day,

a love so intense yet sweet;

Your face seem to bloom as a flower,

our hearts fit like a puzzle complete.

My eyes turned near a deathly shut,

my mind wouldn’t walk away;

And when we kissed, our first kiss,

my knees began to sway.

The color of red rushed to my cheeks,

my heart pounded in my chest;

My palms began to quiver and sweat,

as my lips on your lips rest.

I couldn’t imagine another thought,

as words were murmured low;

So much power in a first kiss,

the seed of real love that grows.

Cupids arrow had found its mark,

as years passed on I still confess;

That lovers fall in love so often

at the moment of their first kiss.
