First Kiss

anticipation
a spark flares
i know it's coming
but i don't know when
should i ask for it
with words or actions
or simply wait for the moment

impatient
i glance away
not wanting to show
my desire just yet
but the longing persists
i return his gaze
more deeply this time

wondering
again i see a spark
still unsure
his or a reflection of mine
watching his lips as he speaks
i imagine them pressed to mine
can he read my thoughts

intrigued
i didn't hear the question
a trembling smile
he reaches to caress my burning cheek
chuckling softly at my blunder
eyes searching for understanding
the moment has arrived

mesmerized
both hands now
fingers splayed through my hair
pulling me gently closer
his lips barely brush mine
testing... tasting... teasing ...
our breaths mingle for a moment
then dance away into the night

captivated
firmer now more sure
he pulls back eyes questioning
my arms twine around his neck pulling him close
a dialogue lips saying what words cannot
the questions have been answered
with exquisite tenderness

Hi, I was trying to find a PM button here, but there is none so have to post this way. I posted on the slam For those who NEVER won a slam before to ask that people don't for you since you have already won a slam. You are getting ratings so I am asking you to post there to ask people to not rate your poem. I know you probably didn't understand the nature of the slam. thanks for helping. Bonnie aka zbird
