Andrea Dietrich Poet Blank verse

Breathless, Oh

To slow dance into night with a new love,
anticipation building all the while!
To look into your darling’s eyes and see
the adoration that you strongly feel
reflected back, for you too are adored,
and barely can you breathe it feels so good!
Romance has budded sweetly like a rose.
Its scent is pure delight, and petal-soft
will be the kiss that you’ve been dreaming of.

Your fingers interlace. A thrill divine
goes down your spine, and tiny butterflies
are all aflutter in your stomach as
you gaze into the eyes of your amor.
Your love - so fresh - like snow that no one yet
has tread upon; your prints will be the first!
There's nothing like it; never will there be
a thing so beautiful as this first love.

You're both alone beneath a starry sky.
You lean in for that magical first kiss.
There’s nothing else but bliss in all the world,
and breathless, oh, you’re soaring to the moon!

Quoth Theraven December 28, 2021 at 9:38 AM Andrea, Gorgeous poem with a kiss. Is it possible to forget how to do it? Noses always seem to get in the way. Perhaps a joke from the creator. Best wishes for you and your family in the new year. -Richard Andrea Dietrich December 28, 2021 at 9:40 AM my first good kisser did eskimo and butterfly kisses as warm up to the best part!!
