"FIRST KISS"
Each and every minute is constructed exactly the same way, it has precisely 60 seconds. Most minutes pass quickly by, but there are some, that last for eternity as they sparkle with unique light and allow us to look back and see the minute in a whole different light!
...... I can recall that tender age of 13. I first noticed
girls batting their eylids at me, calling my name cutely, and teased me for
attention. I was naive in noticing that it was "nature calling". When the time
came for my first kiss, I was too shy and clumbsy to live up to her
expectations!.......Word quickly spread, I was a terrible kisser! At 13, there
are no second chances!! My reputation preceded my boyhood charm and good looks!
The girls on the block had turned stone cold on me! I was devastated...and for
the next few years, I avoided being placed in a close up puckering position.
(aww)
I watched T.V. shows and movies carefully.....I studied how James Bond
would lock lips with his leading ladies....Gregory Peck, Cary Grant, Kirk
Douglas...I watched them all, and observed. Through this careful observation I
discovered that kissing was not just about lips being locked together, but it
was the intimate formation two souls, using the lips as a conduit for their
passion. The passion of two souls!
Many years passed, and in one night, the phobia was laid to rest, as I
fell into the eyes of another and she whispered the words into my ear..."oh
Marc, where did you ever learn to kiss like that?"
....Such well formed minutes shine like stars in the night, creating an invisible constellations which have served to guide. You will never lose sight of the moment as long as you look up!

I'm glad you got the hang of it. Good kissers are hard to resist. :O)
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, good kissers are hard to resist, providing they don't "kiss and tell". xo
DeletePractice does make perfect! I used to practice on my pillow and I found real lips much nicer when the time came. Pretty sure I got better with practice on those real lips.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet and warm, Marc. Nothing less found on your pages. ♥
UGH...you still have a captcha? Come on Marc, you don't really need this comment stopper, do ya?
Undoubtedly someone (maybe more) are recalling just how warm your kisses were!
DeleteCaptcha? I had no idea! Well, I
now I have something else to figure out! LOL
Been awhile--- your warm words are always nice to see!
What a fun story - growing up with confident "lady killer" older brothers, it's nice to hear the "bumbling side" of boyhood. thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA tablecloth with a beautiful design, when turned over will reveal a zig zag of threads and knots that would have you exclaim "is this the same tablecloth?"
DeleteMen are no different :)...but on second thought, you must have already figured that out!
Who would have ever guessed guys worried about things like that? Great story!
ReplyDeleteThe ones that didn't worry are the the ones you never enjoyed kissing! :)
DeleteAwww had no idea guys too .. gosh we are so much alike... except for the peeing thing
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone can do anything right at age 13. Such an awkward time. I'm glad you got past it!
