I remember,
The smell of burning wood
that clung to the air
in that bold December way
And the dance of snowflakes
encircling our embrace
The first snow of the season
as if the sky shed it
in celebration of us
I remember you
though many days and loves
lie between us now
Our love may not have lasted
But the memory of you,
will never fade Michelle,
Our first kiss
the day I learned to love

( I just wanted to apologize for my posts of late. A little grim and self-serving but that storm has passed. Writing for the first time in years I've finally found a valve for thoughts. I want to thank everyone in this forum for responding, supporting and most of all sharing your work. I've learned so much in a little time. This is a tribute to the girl who taught me life's sweetest lesson. I hope to learn it again one day and wish you all find it.
Okay, now let me apologize for being so sappy and mushy (both the poem and this message). lol )

My first kiss was in a snowstorm so your poem brought back that exhillerating moment for me! Thank you!

I don't think your comments were sappy and mushy at all!---and I am glad that you are getting so much out of Passions! It's great to have you aboard! Write away and continue to share your thoughts and feelings with us!

so sensual, the first kiss with the snow in the background, also shows the transicence of love, melting away sometimes, as much as you try to hold onto it..........

Resonance of the past walks sweetly in the shadow of the future...if thoughts are this rich. Smile to you...ThisDiamond

This is really beautiful. I also remember my first kiss.
BTW, I don't think you're being mushy at all,
just truthful, with lots of feelings and emotions.
All the makings of good poetry to me.
Thanks for sharing with us. I'm really glad
that you like it here at PIP so much.
