Love's First Kiss

Quivering lips tentatively seek
their mirror twin
A gentle meeting
lightly touching
Breath suspended in space and time

Mind, heart, body and soul
proffered freely
Shrouded
in a lacy veil
Of hope, love, desire and dreams

Senses sharply focus as the backdrop fades
All is still
as two become one
One, thought,
one heartbeat,
one anatomy,
one essence

Twin-flames unite in a burning blaze
As love is birthed
then nourished
Hand in hand,
heart in heart,
soul in soul

    This is a beautiful poem. Puts everything into slow motion for you to get the real feel of it.

    Soul's Snapshot

    I love it when artists have this ability. To capture a moment so perfectly that one can project themselves into the poem. Very nice!

      One of the truly beautiful moments in life when hope knows no boundaries and our souls overflow with dreams

    How Romantic

    I love the choice of the descriptive word tentatively. This is the very definition of almost all of love's first kisses. Sometimes it's easy for me to pick certain lines or stanzas to offer as my favorites. Other times like this it's not so easy. Let's see...Lines 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 12. Yep, covers it, other than that I didn't really care for the rest. I'm not saying they need to be but at least some of these lines could be broken down farther to give them more impact on the reader. Shorter lines sink in faster. What do you think of the look of this:

    Quivering lips tentatively
    seek their mirror twin
    A gentle meeting
    lightly touching
    Breath suspended
    in space and time

    Mind, heart, body
    soul, proffered freely
    Shrouded in a lacy veil
    Of hope, love, desire, dreams

    Senses sharply focus
    as the backdrop fades
    All is still as
    two become one
    One, thought
    One heartbeat
    One anatomy
    One essence

    Twin-flames unite in
    a burning blaze
    As love is birthed
    and nourished
    Hand in hand
    Heart in heart
    Soul in soul

    Just thought I'd offer you another point of view. Ethier way you have a sweet and tender poem describing one of the precious moments in life. Great work.
