In This First Kiss

In This First Kiss
by Patrick Bernardy

Cheek-to-cheek, our passion soars,
Opening locks on bedroom doors
Where regretful choices walk the floors
Your surrender, my parade of whores.

In bedrooms bare, our desire grows strong.
We’ve hidden ourselves for way too long,
Scarcely hearing love’s sweet song.
To wish for you, is that so wrong?

I turn you toward me, face to face,
My eyes search yours for some new place
To send my need for someone’s grace,
To banish my past without a trace.

My lips touch yours, soft and real.
Gentleness now, my tongue lays still.
Savoring every moment of what we feel
In this first kiss, we magically heal …
