In the beginning there is always
a sharp stirring of rapture…
From the first moment,
when a simple locking of gazes
caused beating hearts to swell
like the coming of the tides,
she knew the taste of his lips
and the sweet scent of his skin.
In the beginning there is always
an excruciating charge of passion…
Before he came to her,
slow and delicately persistent,
hands encircling her waist,
fingers finding those perfect places
to apply soft pressure to her flesh,
she knew the words he would whisper
and the timid way his tongue
would dance with her own.
In the beginning there is always
the sweet sense of disorientation…
Perhaps from the realm of sleep,
dreams became premonitions
that led her to him that day,
on a sidewalk of cobblestone
in a city she’d never visited,
where sunshine rested on wanting skin
and two beings passed beyond
the confines of reason and logic
to find a moment that would last forever.

It appears you're new to AP -- although I see you already obtained an admirer in a great talent like ArdentMarch. I understand why she praised this piece.
It's very feminine, and captures quite nicely the emotive need and anticipation that a simple kiss can convey. As a guy, it's quite enjoyable to read a piece like this, and to appreciate the effect our actions can have on those we ourselves desire. I like to think we are the source of "a sharp stirring of rapture," though some would probably justifiably just say that's our egos at work.
However, if we can genuinely bring a moment of "sweet sense of disorientation," then I consider that to have been "work accomplished."
Lovely write. I hope you continue to pen such efforts here.
