The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

When the Sun Kissed the Earth

I hope you remember the lips
Soft and round and moist
Warm and welcoming and giving

I hope you remember the heat
The moments and the chatting and the playing
The breaths and the journeys and the memories

I hope you remember the excitement
The planning and the waiting and the patience 
The first date and the first day and the first touch

I hope you remember the meeting
I know somewhere in your book of romanticism 
There is a page for us, about us
I know somewhere our ribbons of love are still tightly tied
Though never visible anymore
They never die with the changing lanes

Beautiful write Njeri with such a deep sense of longing that dwells in all of us. I looked forward to reading more for I find whenever I invest the time to read other poets, I am always amazed at such talent. Great job!
