That Kiss, First Kiss
by Tony Whitaker
As I reflect on this, that kiss, first kiss
A boys life in an instant changed forever.
Gone were the pleasures of digging for treasure
Going fishing, playing Army, but I reminisce.
Now, I wonder if I can dismiss those days of innocent bliss,
Days filled with the pursuit of naïve pleasure.
But that kiss, first kiss, altered the notion of my leisure forever.
Falling like a ghost without fear into that final abyss.
Wendy Robbins, ah, the name, and she set this heart aflame.
But I never looked back or ever felt a lack
By the loss of my innocence and childhood ways.
For that kiss, first kiss, as I pause to play back
How that kiss, first kiss did set this heart ablaze.
And this lads life would never be the same.

Author's Note: This is my true memory of my own first kiss in 1965 as an 11 year-old boy.
