Who was the first person to come up with a kiss
Pressing lips together really seemed like such bliss
Sure don't have a problem
Our appendage does blossom
But it must be passionate, not like kissing a fish...

Subject and Object,
who builds the bridge
From either perspective,
to laud or forgive

First person invective,
third person retort
The toll for each crossing
  —forever deports

Fun times when we’re together
Freaky Friday switching partners
First person to know our thoughts
Faith in each other when times get tough
Forever on our minds
Fearless when the other one needs help
From another mother my sister or brother

Persons have personality; Personalism -
Recall what MLK Jr. learned at Boston U
A creator God is a Person, so are U
Yearning to know The First Person I pray:
Educating soul, body, spirit the Jesus way
Revisiting hate, avarice ... Before going away...

If i was an ant
would my fathers sister be my aunt ant
and where does the d come from in pigeon
but sorry for the derision
Wanting to be the first person ever to unbake a cake
and if our knees bent the opposite way
What would our chairs look like...

Who was the first person to come up with a kiss
Pressing lips together really seemed like such bliss
Honestly don't have a problem
My appendage does blossom
But it must be passionate, not like kissing a wet fish

She tames the sky
She commands the clouds
They get their orders from her
They do as she says

Does she rule by fear?
No
Does she rule by right?
No

Why do the clouds listen?
Because she is sassy, and confident.
And she is the first person to command them.
They think it is great....

The first person to hold me on the cold winter night
Out of all the stars in the sky, to me he is my saving light
His calloused, shaking hands guiding through my fright
His only care is to raise me right
The love for each other, is never out of sight
His hugs,His scent, His love always holds me tight...

a freedom-fighter with a gun
a Jihadist with a gun
a lone-wolf with a gun
a redneck with a gun
a survivalist with a gun
a good-guy with a gun
a bad-guy with a gun
a hate-monger with a gun
a vengeance with a gun
a first-person-shooter
vigilantes and vigils 
a patterned proximity

Disgust
Guilt
Fear
I felt dirty
Trapped in 2006
Experiencing the cold floor
Seeing from a 3rd person view
While feeling from a first person experience
I could not leave
I was stuck in a memory
Of unbelievable horror
14 years later
Haunted by the actions
Of someone I trusted
I loved 
Betrayed in an instant...

he wore a green hat with a red flower
he was my bestie, and I adored him
the first person I saw in the morning
my bestie, Wiggly Worm

there were three creatures hanging off him
two bugs and a butterfly
they all three had enormous smiles
they made my day in their vibrant colors
I loved them so when I was two years young...

The most beloved things in life 
Are the things so small
It could be a hunters knife
Or the sound of a newborns call
A young boys first kiss 
Or a young lovers bliss
Something everyone may at sometime miss
From a pet
To the first person you ever met
Keep these things close to heart 
Because these are the things that make life worth living....

I get the feeling that people are telling me to step back from the edge.
I don’t know where to start with people anymore.

I get the feeling there is no edge.
I usually start with my eyes though my heart is a sinking ship.

I am apprehensive over writing this in a first-person narrative.
I get the feeling I’m telling myself to step back from the edge....

Please read what I wrote and add the next stanza
Anyone and everyone welcome
Please write in the first person  ie:I


My Advice 

I read a poem, yesterday
About just made me cry
This person wrote
They frighted one day they'd die
I said hey buddy, 
You know, you only have to close your eyes
And when you open them again
You're gonna get a big surprise...

You're the first person I think of 
Each morning when I rise 
You're the last person I think of 
at night when I close my eyes 

You're in every thought I have 
And every breath I take 
My love is growing stronger 
With every move I make 

I've proven that I love you
these words are overdue 
I'm giving all I have to give
because my heart belongs to you...

Poem as Surrogate
                    by Odin Roark

Streaming messenger
With expression unchecked
Imagined ink yet to dry
The page fearful of touch
Find the eyes
Beneath which awaits the meaning

For

This frame that lives also as picture
One's fleeting first-person impulse
A captured inner focus shared
Clings tenaciously
To the world's lenity
Every poet's temporary forever...

“I” is just a concept made by mind. Siddhartha Gautama

Mind has to dwell in a coerced seclusion: 
mind is a prisoner of the conclusion
that mind is mine. I share your letdown,
my mind. Minds cannot shatter the illusion
of the first person singular pronoun.
