A first kiss,

A first kiss,

Like calm water on the shore, rising to leave an impression, 

then slipping away—

the sand remains. 

Light as a pearl,

heavy as the wells of the sea.

Uncertain, the gentle waves of a restless mind

anxiously recede toward their briny home.

Pulled by my silver heart, 

I drift from the coast,

leaving only a silent goodbye.

Just got back into writing after years due to a Creative Writing class. Was always scared of poems, but I've grown a random desire to put my thoughts/feelings into poems in the past 2 weeks. This is pretty much the first 'poem' I've ever written. Advice and critiques are GREATLY appreciated! Trying to improve and get better!

To clarify, I made this poem, then used some AI to find synonyms to certain words. I never straight up take from AI, I use it as fuel for my own mind and creative process while I don't have any peers to review because my college class allows that specifically.
