First Kiss

Connie Hess

In tender touch
that didn't ask a thing,
two lips met in cautious mingling.
Then the world exploded
and filled the sky with stars,
and lightning flashed and thunder crashed
and all that was... was ours.
And when the pandemonium was stilled
I reveled in the joy of this...
no other moment could surpass
the marvel of my first kiss.
