Just A Kiss (honest) |

Just A Kiss I traveled that very first night As if being lifted out of my lull My body's encasing put into flight Resting atop the wing of a gull As our embrace turned visions of lust I found myself lying on a body of sand Feeling so lost in our lover's trust Ecstasy waiting so close at hand Slowly the tide caressed the pier While rythmic kisses abound in the air Rising gently, easing our fear Frequency increasing without a care With our hearts pounding close to their height And rythym matching the incoming tide Touching each wave in all it's might Power too stern for us to forsake Fear hidden beneath each caress Sheltered with the foaming sea Stealing the energy we each possess Slowly taking us where we wish to be With thunderous ripples across our beach One last surge came our way Gazing upon the stars we seek to reach Convulsions passed in their brief stay Surges gone... tide going out Gentle calmness in our souls bliss Loving words whispered removing all doubt And to think this was just a kiss!

Ahhhhh The kiss 'sigh', one of the few ports to express the inner feelings, that and poetry, I'm a guy and I am feeling pretty hot actualy, although that may just be because the radiator is stuck on full blast, You sure have a blessing with that poem as you have the full attention of some of the most powerful females the galaxy has ever seen - quick hypnotise them and insert yourself at the head of the sisterhood, the males shall reclaim the earth ..... Blahahahahahaha ..... Blahahahahah . Sorry got fed up of girl power and felt like being an egotistical pig . Nice work . L.of.L. Tom . Don't try, do or do not, there is no try . - Master Yoda - |

Hi, Mark Very, very nice...sparked my memory to a kiss I wrote about once.... From This ... Two lips so soft and full of taste each touch and t R e M b L e in s...l...o...w , not haste enter now the soft ( within ) the dance of tongue to then, begin silky~~smooth~~ and moist, yet sweet excitement rising... taking fleet floating HIGH in air so thin the dance of love to now, begin to think, to know to quiver, like this resulting from lips and just one ~~kiss~~ Maureen *thought I would share a little of me |
