That First Kiss Poem by Tinashe Mupedzapasi

The night was clear and cold i remember
The road was empty, as if the nyt was planned
We walked slowly for the world was ours then
Who was caring about time, we had no train to catch
Her voice was sweetly sounding in my ears
But only a few words reached my mind
Most of them were trapped in my nerves by the drumming sound of my heart beat
She kept coming closer at times i could feel the warmth of her skin

Was it all the night had for me? us?
Who wouldnt fear a decent beautiful girl?
But with an opportunity who wouldnt dare a try?

I reached for her hand and hold her little finger
Ooh she was calm, just looked at me and smile
Enough for then...maybe that whole night
For i couldnt tell what was beyond those beautiful eyes
Talking, we talked but who care to remember the subjects
So much for the stories, we had reached at her home gate

Was it all for the night?
How was i to change the subject?
What was she gonna say?

Silence seized the moment
No more voices to hide my heart beat
Eyes locked, my lips were trembling
She saw it and i knew it but what was i to do
I couldnt say goodbye, i couldnt come any closer.
But she couldnt waste a good night to laughs and stories
Lips could do better than talking
She was soft and calm, and then a little bite
I dont know for how long but surely short enough
I watched her walk away, give a wave and closed the door
I jogged back home and was all for the night
That was all for us
For in the morrow she left the city
Never to come back

That was all for our love.
