First Touch, First Kiss

That moment of intense fluttering just before 'landing on the moon'.

So soft

the gentle breeze

that brings a

feathered kiss.

Eyes that meet

over affection's

gate

to condone

surrender

and the sharing

of ones whole

body, mind

and spirit.

 

Juices

flow

as slow

and deliberate

lips barely touch

the peach of skin.

 

Hearts jump

the space between

pressed chests,

two souls

weaving stars

as breaths

become quiet gasps

of pure,

unadulterated bliss.

Amazing poetry shared John. The first touch, the first kiss. We shall never forget. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Enjoyed this, well written, and the style brings through the breathlessness of the subject, read this !

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you so much Leslie. Hope you are well?

Before the kiss the eyes meet and invite to a confabulation... and then the magic journey you described so tenderly takes place to acquiescence.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed a beuatiful journey and one to savour. Many thank yous Mrudula.

[Chris Shaw]

How well you express those tender moments John. First class free verse. All good wishes and a good morning to you.

Thank you Chris, a tense good morning as we await the Tory leadership result!

[Chris Shaw]

Hmm I'm only expecting one outcome!! Not saying he's the best, but if it doesn't happen, then I will be suspecting foul play :))

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh it IS going to happen but the foul play is in play! The remainers are all lining up to thwart the will of the majority of the people in this democracy.

[Chris Shaw]

Yes, they are, but a full clearout of the cabinet remainers will help! Can't wait.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah but from the benches they are p***ing into the tent!

[Chris Shaw]

Let's hope more get deselected and then if there is a general election maybe they will lose their seats.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Go Boris!!!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank big 'E' hope more of those dreams come your way, Far better than the nightmares I'd warrant.

Ever thought of writing for Mills and Boone, lol, the romantic poetry of your lust would make many a blue haired granny cream

[John Alexander McFadyen]
