The first time

Kiss by Sandro Chia

there must be a beginning,
scientists say about the universe:
a singularity, core of black hole

we turn towards my notebook,
intent on discovery of pressure and the
expanding universe, beholding its beauty

pop goes your laughter, as a fried chicken leg
slips my hand and gravy sauce edges mouth, 
warm as honeycombs, electrons charging

it takes millions of years for hydrogen molecules
to come together, a shockwave, collapse of gas,  
nuclear fusion, we gaze into each other

everything falls into the page: time, place, rhythm, 
perfect collision, simultaneous intake, wonder in eyes as 
your lips find mine by school bench, soft  

bursting supernova, helium joy on paper lantern
meeting the skylight, floating on a careless afternoon,
my hands find deep hollow of your back, holding 

a world unfolding,

us


Posted for D'verse Poets Pub:   Poetics:   First Times - A cosmic welcome to Fred Rutherford  who is hosting the pub for the first time.  

I haven't been posting here lately because I am writing haiku for September Challenge of Haiku Heights in my other blog.   Thanks for the visit.  

Still

the  pale blue evening sky inhales

excitement of midnight’s festive air 

orange red banners festoon the house,

brighter  than  the  night’s  starry  glow 

sparklers, blow horns, wine glasses,

sets the clock ticking closer to 12:00

the seconds leap from here  to tomorrow,

binding  our  embrace  checkered  tight

moments like these stitch our arms,
day and night, black and white, sun and moon

flickering  overhead  as   the  countdown  begins,

your lips bend close and savor my red wine lips

ever changing passage of new year’s cheer

still, never changing love on my tongue lingers

.

Happy New Year  !!!!

Lemon Kiss

fresh lemon slice

swirls in mouth

juice breaking pore

boldly, soft lips

touch softer lips

eyes closed,

unmindful 

intersection of noses

smooth cheek on

pine-needled cheek,

pink tongue curls,

duels in

heady exploration

  tequila scents,  

hands lost in

smooth long tresses

drowning

in

salty brine

of ocean’s bed

until breathless

eyes glazing

intoxicated

first kiss

I find this exercise very helpful G-man.

Also for The Gooseberry Garden, the prompt is The Kiss.   (I should clarify, I wrote about first passionate kiss)

A kiss

nights ending

mellowing sighs

ecstasy  rides

passion flowing     

hips melting hips

hands meandering   

tight embrace

light caress 

prelude 

but

it always start

with a

kiss

Hope everyone has a good weekend ~

Temptation Sunday

you gave me

dark chocolates 

& a kiss 

caramel sweetness exploded in my mouth  

my whole body melted

even after you left

your taste still lingers

tempting me for more

Author's Note:   This post is for Poetry Jam hosted by Mark.    This week's theme is temptation.  The stress between obsession and denial -- food, sex, money, drugs, sloth, gluttony.  I chose food - I can't resist chocolates ~

Also shared for Sunday 160 (write a story in 160 characters).  Finally did it.
Happy day everyone ~

Kiss me goodnight

your eyes are unblinking 
as you gasped your last breath
your hands are cold
as you trembled in my warmth  


i held your face so pale and fair 
though in the shadow of sadness
tis your courage that gives me courage
tis your strength that gives me strength


my pulse quickened and vibrated strongly 
as death finally embraced you    
your heart, though still now, beats in me
resonates within me, around me


you are free now to soar to the heaven
your pain and aches are gone
don't say goodbye, my love
just let me kiss you goodnight
