I remember the first time I kissed her breast
Cupped in my hand I had to confess
Milk white creation gentle in my clasp
A passion of souls as they give off sparks
Light fires in Winter and nothing less
I remember the first time I kissed your breast
I remember the first time she suckled your breast
So beautiful a child cradled in bliss
So perfect a creation whose gentle clasp
Can feel your love without having to ask
Milk from her mother from the soul is best
I remember the first time she suckled your breast
I remember the first time I sank in your breasts
Battered by life like a ship in distress
You stroked my head as the grey clouds passed
Soothed my pain and strengthened my task
Milk of kindness on her heart I rest
I remember the first time I kissed her breast

Congratulations David

The wonder in this work is that each stanza gives the reader a different phase in life. This is poignant. A very tenderly written work of poetry here. I like the rhyme scheme as well. I wish you well in this challenge and in life.
Much Love ♥

I don't believe I'm at all familiar with you or your poetry, but this leaves a wonderful first impression. What a lovely surprise this poem was to me. The image of a child suckling her mother's breast simply adds to the feel of reverence you give your subject. I loved the form, the softness of the poem, everything really. A wonderful addition to the contest, and I wish you good luck in the voting.
Best wishes,
~J.

Lovely rendition of a topic that I believe is very close to most men's hearts.

Romantic and tender!
Touching poem, tastefully done. Each verse is charming in its own way, showing three very different reasons why a man loves and appreciates a woman's breasts. Bravo!

Hi David,
What a nice surprise to wake up to this morning. to see a beaut entry from you.
And a very good subject which I see Hugh likes.
Love Jen.

Dear David,
My pleasure at finding your entry in this contest this early morning is matched by the fact that I see it was written and first posted just a week before I joined All-Poetry in November 2003 and moreover touches, with a gentle hand, upon a subject which for me has always exercised great interest and attraction.
Your handling of this subject, in three distinct yet linked sestets, is in a more serious vein than my own boobological essays and admirably describes, with tasteful imagery, the contrasting aspects of passion, nurture and comfort which these marvels of human female nature arouse and provide.
Thankyou for bringing this fine poem to life in our contest and best of luck in the voting.
Applause and regards. Hugh R.

Thank you David
Dear David, I'm so pleased you've entered this delightful poem into our group contest.
I knew you had one amongst all your poems that you could share with us.And I see it was your first poem you posted on AP, the day I met you.
And what better one than a child at her Mother's breast.
Love it!
Love Joan

The emotion is just lovely - the third stanza was the most powerful for me, though who can resist a newborn, either? Good, very good.
-
A very touching poem, David. You've expressed with much feeling, the need, the love, the nurturing of a womans breasts.
I like how you used each stanza for a different expression of those feelings.
Good luck in the contest

I remember my nurseing days vividly, but then I joined the Navy. Nice poem!
-
Reading the first stanza of the poem I'm aroused - every line gives that erotic feel.But second stanza shows the importance of it to life - every child would do well with it.And finally, the last stanza shows breasts as where we run to for friendship, support, strength, encouragement, care, kindness and above all, understanding and love.This is a refreshing way of looking at an object we've constantly associated with just one indecent thought!

Bravo
might i be able to shed a tear this was so very touching that i wanted to cry thankyou for entering and I hope to read more of your beautiful work -
beautiful... it had a slight touch of erotic but it was tastefully done. this was very very touching... i really enjoyed it
-
worth reading
A very maternal feeling added to the fanaticism about breasts. It was sweet. -
This was a wonderful verse exploring three of the greatest avenues of love. I completely enjoyed each word. Very well done.
Thanks for your entry and compliance with the rules.
~Keri~ -

gorgeous David......you are magnificent.......

Wow - a piece that combines the erotic, affectionate, and comforting aspects of love. Not raunchy or gross, and very tastefully executed.
I think some people neglect to remember that the word 'breast' also refers to the general upper torso area and not just what a women feeds babies with - anyway.
Well done, very romantic and sweet. Hope you win this contest! Lovely poem. -
Wow. Love is so hard to describe because it is such a powerful feeling but you did it flawlessly. Great job!
-
YAY
This was just beautiful and imaginative. It is not often that one can write a beautiful poem about a woman's breast (and not come off as raunchy) but you did it superbly!
This is just tasteful and...delicate. It sounded like a quiet poem or lullaby.
~Rosey. -
.....
Hmmm....umm...very interesting...it is nicely written though! -
Nice work, I enjoyed it much. T'was very romantic, and done with such soft and sincere words. Your metaphors and use of milk as a central theme connected to the breast was perfect! (sounds so unattractive when I say it...) The structure of your words and ultimatly the way you presented everything was nearly flawless, it sounded kind to the ears when read aloud. Anywho, like I said I enjoyed it oh so much, so for that, thank you for sharing. Great work!
~Andrew -
Wow, what a beautiful, beautiful write!! I'm at a loss of words except to say this is truely beautiful.
Wonderful Write!!!

KILL THE POPE!!!!! -
Ah, how did I miss this one? Bravo! We must celebrate women every chance we get. A line from an old poem of mine is similar to this -
A man can feel no safer
in the strongest fortress
than against the belly and breast
of such a miracle.
Nice work, as always!
Mark -
Writing a classy and poignant poem with the word "breast" in it is no easy trick but you pulled it off. Very eloquent. Reminded me of a line from one of mine -
"A man could feel no safer in the strongest fortress
than against the belly and bosom of such a miracle."
Great job. How did she like it?
Mark -
don't even know what to say... that was incredibly beautiful. I am glad you came around and decided to enter. Good luck!
Trin -

your poetry is so full or passion...some if it is like bob dylan lyrics but you put a twist to it all your own. you have a great and original style that flows so incrediblly well. when i started writing, that was the kind of poety i was going for. that piece was romantic and fluent, i loved it.
-
Yea, I'm getting the hint that this was towards your wife too...maybe I'm wrong. I really enjoyed this...Great write!
Good luck, Best wishes,
~*~SuGaR~NeDeN~*~ -
Nice tribute, for your wife maybe?
Beautiful thought.
See, they come in quite handy those old mammary glands!!
Kyla -
This is just beautiful - lover - mother - wife - all rolled into one person and your story tells of deep sadness but also abiding love.
Superb.
~Von~ -
I remember the fist time I sank in your breasts
Battered by life like a ship in distress
You stroked my head as the grey clouds passed
Soothed my pain and strengthened my task
I Loved those lines.... Simply a Beautiful poem you've created
And the title fit this extremely well....You have magic in your pen, Don't you?
Kimberly -
Very beautiful David,full of emotion with a hint of tragedy there.
I am enjoying your writes,will look forward to reading more~Joan -
This is so beautiful and reminds me so of my loving parents. They have been married for 32 years and daddy still pinches mom's butt. He thinks we're not watching but we often see.
This is a very gentle and endearing poem. Excellent sentiment!
WELCOME TO AP! I know you'll like it here. Keep sharing!
