David Brown Poet Verse

First Kiss

Hands still sweaty from clinging
together on that long walk
from our school, 
to your door,
our first walk

We stand outside your
apartment building,
hoping our friends
won't stare too closely
at us 

Like judges in 
ice dancing,
waiting for us
to spin
and land awkwardly

Holding up their cards 
tomorrow, for all to see
David and Ellen:
8.5 / 7.4  / 7.1
Humiliation

We press together,
lips firmly locked,
but grinding, as we 
know kisses to be 
from watching tv

Our teeth,
almost touch,
our tongues, 
kept safely where they
belong

Our hands,
sweating anew
from the pressure
and excitement
of the moment 

Judges, do we
have your scores?
David and Ellen:
10.0 / 10.0 / 10.0
Perfect

Andrea Dietrich July 21, 2014 at 4:36 PM i just had to see this one from the title and I was NOT disappointed. Awesome to hear about your first kiss. Mine was with an "older" guy when I was 14 (well that was the first one that counted, and nothing can take its place. there is nothing like that first time that it's GOOD) David Brown July 22, 2014 at 2:43 PM Thanks Andrea, glad you weren't disappointed!
