Pucker PowerThat First Kiss
That first kiss
So casually careful
Lingers through to eternity
Undaunted by the surge and curl
Of the changing waves
That crash on the shores
Of life's experience
It is the never-to-be-found-again
Doorway to love's lessons
A moment inseparably entwined
In the tendrils of one time and a single space
Small in dimension but always
Locked in our hearts
Something permanent and yet
As delicate and fragile as a porcelain figurine
That every new lover
Worries and frets over
While trying and failing to tip it
From the perfect pedestal
Where we have set it
Against all harm
So casually careful
Lingers through to eternity
Undaunted by the surge and curl
Of the changing waves
That crash on the shores
Of life's experience
It is the never-to-be-found-again
Doorway to love's lessons
A moment inseparably entwined
In the tendrils of one time and a single space
Small in dimension but always
Locked in our hearts
Something permanent and yet
As delicate and fragile as a porcelain figurine
That every new lover
Worries and frets over
While trying and failing to tip it
From the perfect pedestal
Where we have set it
Against all harm
