The Kiss
********

a touch--

light
and feathery soft
your figertips
to my lips
as you silence me...

a caress--

hesitant
yet skillful
your finger
under my chin
as you lean closer...

a gaze--

long
and lingering
your eyes
into mine
as you search for an answer...

a kiss--

gentle
as a summer rain
your lips
to mine
as I close my eyes...

a rhythm--

quick
and pounding
my heartbeat
into yours
as they dance together...

an emotion--

desire
and anticipation
your arms
around my body
as we melt into one...

a journey--

slow
and enjoyable
your heart
open to mine
as I bare my soul to you...

a ringing--

alarming
and annoying
sunlight
in my window
as I pry opem my eyes

a dream--

it was all a dream
a journey interrupted
a sigh escapes me
as I greet the new day

it was nothing but a fantasy...

Too bad it was all a dream, I was starting to enjoy it myself.  Wish I had dreams like that.
I love the structure of this poem and it oh so makes me want to be kissed! Great read, bobbycat.

Upon thy slumber shall intrude,
Our thoughts, our souls- O God above!
In every deed shall mingle, love."

I enjoyed this one very much. The kiss is the best thing in life, not to be rushed, but relished like it was the last time you would ever experience such delight. You captured it so well, and the way you did your lines really added to it.
