my first kiss
so long ago
(not yet in high school)
in the back seat
at a drive-in theatre.
I’ll remember ’till I die
my nervousness,
perspiration,
her perfume
(Tigress by Faberge)
her warmth,
angora sweater set
(pastel yellow —
no buttons
to hinder progress)
sweetness of her kiss.
She knew much more than I
about such things
another world
had opened to me
desire and heartache
go together —
there’s seldom one
without the other
but, would we want it
any other way?
would we want
a safe, yet loveless life
without the up
without the down?
or, take the ecstasy
and risk our hearts
being trampled
to the ground

i can’t lie and say I have my first kiss yet which I’m okay with ..but if it’s like you described than i would guess it’s a nerve racking experience but sweet again. And if it had that much effect on you that you never forgot about her , than that’s pretty cool. I like the details you put in , it puts an image in the readers mind . thanks you for sharing . Weird question for you : do you remember her name or just the experience .

Yes I do remember her name, it is Irene Jones. I haven’t seen her for about fifty years, but I remember her as if we had parted just yesterday. I think that first experiences always remain in one’s mind, especially ones as good as this.

My first kiss was kind of blah. Lol. I always envy people who’ve had a great one. I’m too all or nothing I guess. It’s either great or it sucks.
