first kiss

the sun which rose upon the day could not foresee the night

how better than the sun’s array your kiss and its delights

is more pleasing than the moments the sunshine will give birth

where everything with fur and wings are playing on this earth

i’d rather frolic with your kiss like from the night before

the nature scenes may be serene and easy to adore

but elation and ecstasy are when your lips might yield

whether passing a sidewalk café or in a golden field

sunshine is fine but nighttime is the first time that we kissed

and in my hall of memories nothing compares to this

but maybe more than memories my mind and lips will know

when next time you’re alone with me a kiss you will bestow

and every moment that my breath will keep me on this earth

i’ll only curse the dance of death cause all i’ve found of worth

are hands in hands at your front door, a kiss to say goodnight

angelic beings had carried me to promised paradise
