First Kiss of Love

I've added a few more verses of my own to a short poem by Lord Byron

First Kiss of Love

Away with your fictions of flimsy romance

Those tissues of falsehood which folly has wove 

Give me the mild beam of the soul-breathing glance

Or the rapture which dwells on the first kiss of love

Thus allow no distress to bind your heart

Least your soul be burdened with doubt

For before you I stand with no device to depart

But your joy tis that of which I am about

Then come now my dearest, my honor I give

My hand, my heart thus offered in troth

For thee I promise, I pledge the very life I live

Tis but a wish for my precious, on the first kiss of love.

First verse by Lord Byron

second and third inspired by the first

A beautifully crafted poem that blends classic romantic style with sincere emotion. The imagery feels timeless.

Thank you so very much for reading and commenting on this poem. I loved the poem by Lord Byron, but it was too short, so I added my thoughts to it.

I am so glad you liked it,
