A First Kiss: A Motown-Style Soul Poem & Song | Daniel Olivero González

Updated: May 2026

A woman, a man. United by friendship, they are about to cross the invisible border of attraction. This is the story told in this poem and its classic Motown-inspired soul ballad, beautifully performed by the unique Celeste Monroe, from the musical catalog of El Eco de un Recuerdo.

A First Kiss

[ Lyrics ]

Words of seduction,
a soft, flowing prologue,
whispered phrases in half-lit tones.

A gaze held longer
than friendship allows.
The slow pull of two lips
meeting in silent surrender.

A mystery unraveled in an instant,
fleeting or infinite—who can tell?

Crossing the threshold of fear,
stepping into the depths of you.

Painting the night in new colors,
a passport to the unknown,
to unspoken sounds and lingering scents…
All in a first kiss.
