Adolescent effervescence, <br />A bubbling first kiss. <br />Expectation that reigns <br />Between goosebumps and pain. <br />Too descriptive to mention <br />This maiden so fine. <br />Could she acquiesce <br />To someone my kind? <br />With eyes ever closed <br />I glanced off her nose, <br />Landing on lips of cherries. <br />Was it really so great? <br />And how did it taste? <br />Like braces and recent blueberries. <br /> Discipline Parental love, <br />Rarely denied. <br />Some compassion, <br />Pertinent pride. <br />Seems a bit odd <br />When disputes arise, <br />The Devil and God <br />Are both on their side.<br /><br />H H Rutledge<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-kiss-6/
