First Kiss

Cecilia stood with him as my eyes filled with envied rage I had asked her to be mine at prom but was second to the stage She dazzled the ballroom as bated breaths of onlookers viewed Her figure in white satin caused all to experience an exclamatory mood Bleach white with stream- lined sleekness adorning Long lacy sleeves Pinkish mother of pearl fasteners from shoulder to fingers weaved Each aligned like little glistening sparklers- beautiful yet Godly conceived Hair fashioned as a cascading water fall full of auburn red curls Turning to mist at her lower waist causing my dreamful rage to be placed in whorls Spinning more spinning- my world out of control Oh how I wanted her long moments ago A plucked rose of red love pined to her heart side breast Gave me notice as I knew I could not rest Like a lion on the prowl- to the dance floor I stalked To dance with my dream girl whose heart I would shock Tapping aspersion the shoulder of the man whom I gave envy and hate Excuse me please sir-may I cut in on your lovely date Softly spoken “We’ve got tonight” I whispered in her ear Drawing her ever the closer- Oh my dear Seger’s words audibled sweetly around the dance hall loomed No longer the wait-I vowed boldly and calm No longer to hesitate- aroused by her flowery balm My lips to hers pressed- for she did not resist Thus it was the moment of our very first kiss

Thanks David! I was writing this for the First Kiss contest, but I couldn't express myself according to the contest's rules. So I simply did my thing with the contest's inspiration.
