Higher Than the Stars: the first kiss

Our love came silent

as an innocent summer zephyr

that bathed us

 

in soft, warm sensations

exciting curious minds

that smiled

 

with anticipation, and

lemonade breath

beckoned as

 

the radio played

“Summer’s almost gone”

by the 'Doors'

 

a first kiss made us as high

as the stars we slowly counted

in each others arms.

    well, I am happy I found this one in adrie's list...

    this is so beautiful Micheal - i don't know how I missed this one..maybe it was from before I added you to my faves.

    I love every stanza, especially the first kiss making you as high as the stars you counted in each others arms...so lovely; a wonderful first kiss mood

    I can hear the slamming of screen doors and the flicker of fireflies. Thanks for reminding me.

    Love your choice of music. Those were romantic times and they seem like the good old days now. I'm wondering if that first romance lead to anything further.

    Like the lemonade breath too.

    ah, i'm a hopeless romantic. yes, i would
    love to  be inspired to go to those days with
    mi abuelos y amor to share such a sensual

    and yet innocent experience that you have

    written about.

     

     

    the author's notes made me smile,

    as my first kiss...well, the only way

    i could tell you would be to write it

    in a poetic form, but nonetheless,

    it was special. it was mine.

     

    on the eve of a crisp autumn day;

    beneath a willow tree and beside the

    gentle breathing of mi abuelos lake;

    our lips met in a soft press of flesh -

    we understood my shy movements.

    okay, i've rambled enough. thank you

    for your entry and best of luck.

    To be held in her lover's arms as they count the stars, slowly, for eternity, and share the sweet bliss of their togetherness, sealed with a kiss...I think that would be every woman's dream; it certainly is something I dream of. Your words are so soft and tender, whispering across the page in a sigh of contentment. May it always be this way for you, my dear.
