Arlene Smith Poet Nonet

First Kiss

Absorbed as the first droplet of rain
                                                                  To parched desert cactus flower
                                                                  Quenching such ravenous thirst
                                                                          To be sweetly savored
                                                                            Remembered always
                                                                               In loving thought
                                                                                      Only one
                                                                                      Your first
                                                                                           Kiss
