First Love.
I see
butterscotch evenings,
sky honied in given kisses,
last light unfrocking
need as sea's coverlet hides beach
in caramel-sweetness.
I see
clandestine meetings,
desire dusted with toffee-tints,
pink cheeks shy-touched,
coloured in cherry-lipped passion,
of love begun in secrecy.
I see
Treacle-soft yieldings,
sighs sugared in vows, trying
each offered treasure,
upturning delectable when shared
were new intimate feelings.
I see.
Chocolate-smooth dreaming
invading two hearts with romance
sweetened by youth's
sacred exchanges, innocence tasting
first-love's discreetness.

I thought I was in a sweet shop! heehee.
Oh Fay, how you romance my first love uncertain fumblings. Would that i had had todays heart, knowledge and guiles for my young sweet lover that she may have felt some of your poetry within her amorous soul.
A lovely picture of romance, sadly lost apon the young fumblers of the day. But such an encouragement for an old buzzard like me to try and capture for 'next time'.
Your comment my friend reads like a poem in itself and thanking you muchly for such a generous review - a look back at the days of yesteryear can lighten and refresh the oldest of "buzzards" methinks but not that the term refers to you............. bless ya my fine-feathered ageless writer.
ANGELA HERE (11pm Tuesday) - Thanks for sharing a sacred experience in a very sensitive way ! I have a sweet tooth so the metaphor rang a Sweet Shop Bell for me ! Being Spanish i guess my excursions into the *World of Sensual Pleasure* started in 2002 when I was 14 ! However being a Good Catholic I saw my Virginity as something sacred to be *preserved* for the Right Man @ the Right Time. Taste is an important sense in sexual awareness and you describe my fave flavours in that context ! Butterscotch - Caramel - Cherry Lips - Treacle & Chocolate ! All good metaphors for the BEST TASTES I experienced in my first encounters of the sensual kind. On average my BEAUS were two years older than ME ! Brian incidently is FIVE years older and mature enough to be MY HUSBAND next year ! I attended an All Girls Public School - so my first sensual encounters with *BOYS* were at at Church Socials Outings & Dances. My PAPA had the notion that if a BOY was a Catholic he would be *DECENT* my Mother knew better ! In my adolescent experiences my *Girl Friends* always scented & hugged better but I have never been BI ! Your final lines perfectly sum up adolecsent BOY / GIRL sensuous exchanges - innocent tastings and first love discreteness. In the 21st C the worldwide web has driven a steamroller through innocence and for MEN has turned to LUST and every page & position of the KARMA SUTRA. I am grateful I was just on the other side of that. Brian & I are now Teen group leaders in an Evangelical Church and it is a minefield ! I was fortunate to survive Medical School VIRGINUS INTACTUS - It took a lot of will power and some Men regarded me as FIGID - MOI FRIGID - ask BRIAN ! My whole concept of S*X changed completly when I met BRIAN - He is so so gentle and one of the few Men I have met - he is totally sensitive to My feelings and our Hearts reall do beat as one - but thats another SUBJECT at a much more mature level !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
