Reluctant First Kiss

 
Reluctant first kiss,
prior commitments at risk.
Ecstatic for another,
awakens feelings undiscovered.
 
Breaths of anticipation,
cloud the objection.
Shy lips persist,
despite consequence . . .
 
              Years transpire,
prior commitments amiss.
Attribute unimaginable bliss,
to a Reluctant
                       First
                               Kiss.

(original version)

Reluctant First Kiss,

 
Reluctant first kiss,
prior commitments at risk.
Ecstatic for each other,
Awakens feelings yet discovered.
 
Breaths of anticipation,
overshadow objection.
Shyly we persist,
disregarding consequence . . .
 
              Years transpire,
prior commitments amiss.
Attribute unimaginable bliss,
from a Reluctant First Kiss.
