Kiss Me Tenderly

Kiss me sweet
        Kiss me quick
               Only once.
I’m not the romantic type.
Or so I tell myself.
         What are you waiting for?
No kiss?
          That kiss is fine.
You taste so sweet.
I look deep in your eyes:
     Deep blue like some far-off lagoon.
cerulean clear inviting, longing love.
I long for a tender kiss.
I feel lost.
          Do you love me?
          I think of your red luscious lips.
I saw you kissing Freddie yesterday.
You blush.
I blush 
I’m jealous.
We walked hand in hand towards the park.  
This time, our kiss lingers
Not quick, not sweet. Something deeper.
Love is in the air.

Sentimental and lovely, your poem illuminates the passion, doubt and joys of a new relationship. I enjoyed the picture of lovers immersed in the colors of the setting sun, as well.
