Tender Kiss
"In one kiss, you'll know all I haven't said."
~Pablo Neruda
She was just sixteen
When his kiss stole her young heart
A soft, tender start
Warm emotions burned within
No cold shower cooled her skin
Love affair thus born
Under the silvery moon
Though it ended soon
All gone when summer ended
Broken hearts left unmended
Now there’s only memories
Of a soulful tender kiss
And embers of a young love
A gift from Cupid above

4moReminds me of one of my latest (A Tender Romance). Only my story ended up in over fifty years of marriage. We had some blessed years together. I’m a widow now, but never alone, God is with me. 😊
