Kissing By Numbers

KISS NUMBER ONE The first nervous kiss, When tentative And hesitant lips Lacking confidence Lacking conviction Miss their mark And teeth collide KISS NUMBER TWO The second kiss More eagerly awaited Full of conviction Yet over confident Hearts race unchecked When over eager lips Engage like spaceships docking And both parties forget to breathe KISS NUMBER THREE The third kiss Is eager yet restrained Slow yet purposeful And when lips meet Hearts start racing But each moment is savoured This kiss, though not life changing Will be remembered
