Kiss Me Goodnight

by Hannah Lizette   Jun 8, 2012


Wintery nights always remind me of our first date,
Showers of snow surrounded us as we were walking home,
covering the sidewalk in sparkling sugar.

The heat from our breath tangled and danced together in this frigid air,
my hands felt like miniature iceburgs,
you cupped them gently and blew heaven into my palms.

As we reached my door step,
I could see sweat start to trickle down your forehead,
nervousness had overcome the cold.

Shivering and fidgeting as we both said our goodbyes,
bluntly I asked "so, are you gonna kiss me goodnight?"
a slight chuckle escaped your eager lips.

As we embraced in each other's arms,
we shared our first magical kiss.
From that moment on, we knew...

We would share many more.

    You have painted the scene flawlessly.

    And the ending (again) was just beautiful. Glad you are so content.

    One minor thing: in the second verse, 'miniture' should be 'miniature'.

    I have to say this poem is really beautiful. I love the images of two people walking in the snow, being together and sharing their first kiss. Oh I loved this poem. It made me feel warm inside even though it had a cold setting the warmth of the words heated me up.

    Awesome write

    Wow, Hannah. You always do write beautiful love poems. Every time I read them, I feel warm inside :)

    I like how this poem is about a memory that you had. It makes the poem all the more beautiful to me because I know the things that we remember in great detail are the ones that matter to us the most. So, in short, this one matters a great deal.

    This poem has great emotion and great imagery.

    "Showers of snow surrounded us as we were walking home,
    covering the sidewalk in sparkling sugar."

    ^ I can just imagine the sidewalk being covered with snow like this. Beautiful image here.

    "The heat from our breath tangled and danced together in this frigid air,"

    ^ Also, everyone can picture this happening if they live somewhere where winter runs rampant. :)

    The whole poem is filled with emotion. You have love in here, and nervousness (which is clearly stated).

    Beautiful poem, Hannah :)

    Lovely as always, Hannah. I'm not the biggest fan of love poems, but I have to admit, this was really well-penned. Perhaps the winter scene did it for me (:
    I have to agree with Jenni though. It is getting hard to pen an original and memorable love poem these days since almost everything about it has already been written down. But the 'magical' moment for you and the emotion you poured out for this piece made this stand out.
    Great job and keep writing!
