First Kiss

Growing up I fantasized
What the first kiss would feel like

Would it be magical
Like the sunshine peeping through a rainy day

Would it awaken a hidden synapse
Causing a chill run down the spine

Would it uncover still life from within
Falling out from the eyes, drop by drop

Would it be an everlasting moment
Life on one scale, its sensation on the other

Nothing would prepare me
For my first kiss

It was all of the above
And much more

Rhonda planted it on my cheek
The day I met her

They say she's not going to make it
Her kiss said otherwise

It wasn't a kiss of resignation
Neither of despair nor of regret

It was the kiss of life
She will live in it, long after I am gone
