My First Kiss

Here’s a candid poem about the first kiss by Soumya, in Different Truths.

I do not remember my first kiss

And I doubt if you do

For when I received this first kiss

My age was a minute or two.

 

Over the next decade or so

I must have been kissed by many

But as they were elderly aunts,

I would rather not remember any!

 

The first kiss that I do remember

Was followed by a giggle and a slap

But ah what a sweet remembrance

That still makes my heart flap!

 

I wish I could share the sweet story

But I would rather go to hell

For I am an old fashioned gentleman

And gentlemen do not kiss and tell!
