I Have Done It

I have done it...
I have finally succeeded...
I have been able to flush all drugs of your kisses down the toilette...
I have been able to purge all your smells from my memory...
I have been able to amputate your smile from my memory...
I severed the cinnamon brown of your eyes from my senses...

No longer will I think about you 24/7...
With one soulful sneeze I was able to decapitate your sweet face from all that used to be...
I have been able to shed all your soft touches and caresses from my skin...
I have carved your name out of my heart...

Now all that is left...
All that is left from that whole person....
Is a broken...
Tattered...
Ripped apart soul...
But it's happy...
Happy to be free of YOU...

True Loves First Kiss

We were merely children...
Children of only 17...
Still had the innocence...
The sweet innocence of hope...

We walked home...
Home from school...
Hand in hand...
There was only her and I...

We talked a plenty...
We talked of school...
Talked of parents...
Laughing and giggling...
as school yard kids do...

The 2 mile walk seemed quick...
as if it was only 2 steps long...
When we came upon...
our parting point...
We both new we must part...
We both didn't wanna go...

With a deep sigh she looked at me...
For just a single moment...
An eternal moment...
We stared at each other in silence...
With our smiles creasing our lips...
Never letting go of the hand...
The hand we were holding...
The hand that was comfortably uncomfortable...

We slowly closed the distance between our bodies...
We slowly merged to one...
To one single breath...
to one single heartbeat...

I took her in my arms...
Held her in my embrace...
whispered in her ear...
"I will miss you babe"

She did nothing but smile...
the sweet innocent smile of youth...
her eyes were wide and playful...
her smile sweet and bashful...

I brought my hands up...
and cupped her slender neck...
I pulled her slightly towards me...
she longingly succame...

For an instant our lips only touched...
as if playing a game of tag...
we were frozen in the moment...
Nothing could we see...
I began to kiss her lips...
as if kissing a most treasured fruit...

Her lips were supple...
yet soft and sweet...
words would only fail...
to describe the sensations that passed...

She then kissed me back...
oh what tremors I felt...
It sent explosions of color all around us...
and my head to swim in space...
there were shivers up and down my spine...
and my breath I felt lacking...

Our hearts were beating...
to the rhythm of the bumblebee...
It seemed that in that second...
our bodies soared on high...

She had the breath of air...
That my lungs longingly needed...
Her lips had the antidote...
to the poison in my heart...

My pores opened up to her...
every sense in me opened to her...
as if wanting to be the sponge of her...
to absorbed all that was her...
from her smell to her breath...
from her beauty to her soul...

Microcosms of sensations...
made my body quake...
in an instant I had died...
only to be brought back to life...
by her soft sensual kisses...
and her sweet tender caress...

When all was done and over...
I drifted on my way home...
thinking about that simple kiss...
that shook me to my soul...
I couldn't stop smiling...
that is when I knew...
When I knew I had truly felt...
True loves first kiss...
