First Kiss

Butterflies, they whirled, my 
heart skipped a beat
A cliche, maybe so, I was 
swept me off my feet

Like a gentle breeze swaying, 
daydreams led the way
To a field filled with daisies, 
upon which I lay

His fingers of one hand 
threaded my hair
The other cupped my chin, 
hypnotized we both stared

A slight tremble through me, I 
knew it was right
Eyelids, much too heavy, they 
closed off my sight

So subtle, the feeling, his lips, 
they brushed mine
Overcome, I am drunk, on 
loves bittersweet wine

How to describe it, perpetual 
bliss
The beautiful moments of my 
very first kiss!
