"A Memory"

I close my eyes and remember

The sweetness of our first kiss

Your honeyed lips soft and waiting

Just beyond mine

My fingertips coming to rest

Tentatively...

At your waist

Barely alive – treading the depths of awareness

The world becomes centered around

The small imperceptible gap

That remains between our mouths

There is a lingering,

A patient pause

It is not a rushed thing – this kiss

It rides a tide of uncertainty and reflection

Of knowing and of knowing not

...

And then such sweetness and warmth

Cascades through my person as finally our lips touch

Ever so softly

Imbued with a tenderness, a compassion

An experience without compare

Slowly our kiss strengthens

Our mouths melting into one another

Intimate

Sparks flying in my mind

Leaving my body numb and forgotten

And just as our lips took their time to first kiss

So they linger in that initial press,

That first exchange

...

My hand slides to hold your waist

To pull you in

To feel your soul pressed to mine

Finding breath (which had been forgotten)

I squeeze gently and with confidence,

and I kiss you again

more fully and passionately

Only

The moment has passed

Your eyes are open

And your head turns down

And your half step back

Splinters the ground

But we had our moment

So I hold no regret

At least this is how I imagine our first kiss

I would have just played that bet
