Mathew Sturgeon Poet Rhyme

Our First Kiss

I remember our first kiss 
Your lips light and sweet against mine 
I can't recall of another thing 
That ever felt so truly divine 

My heart was beyond throbbing 
Beating merciless inside my chest 
As far as kisses you can go 
This one had to be the best 

I swear we were floating 
Hovering just off the ground 
The things around us slowly disappeared 
Until there was nothing left around 

The moment our lips touched 
It was the first time I felt perfection 
I have never before anything 
And strong as this type of connection 

I was sitting there my mind swirling
And these emotions racing through me 
I've never been lost like that 
Suspending in a state of ecstasy

Alison A Smith August 24, 2026 at 12:49 AM A tender, sincere love poem that captures the breathless, dreamlike intensity of a first kiss. The regular quatrains and clear end-rhyme give it a gentle ballad flow, while images of floating, hovering, and the world disappearing convey how completely the speaker is absorbed in the moment. The direct, unguarded voice makes the recollection especially warm and believable.
