The Kiss

This morning I found myself thinking of an entry I made months ago called "Thoughts That Are Safe Here". Funny how writing isn´t sequential. Well, mine isn't anyway. Sometimes a work is born long before its title.

If I had it to do all again, I thought, I'd have named that entry "The Kiss" after a lovely work of art I beheld once by the same name, and the imagery it mustered.

In this case, the poem just had to grow into it's title. I can't change that poem's name now (that would confuse it!)...but I can still write another one worthy of the name, The Kiss..

I logged on to get some back-up writing in tonight, but the lovely foliage, the smell of Fall and this frosty  chill in the air makes me want to do things of another sort. =)

So, without further ado, I present to you..

The Kiss

You. With me.

Beneath the autumn trees

Awash in nature´s majesty

Electric sky

And dewy life beneath The universe, so vast                                                                       

And we, minute

Yet so complete

You smile,

I grin,

Your brown eyes take me in 

Your hands

Moving with  a purpose

Your fingers snag a curl

Around my neck

Your stare adores a spot

That your lips

Might visit next

You smile,

I grin,

Your breathing pulls me in

With you I can feel everything-

Your head upon my thigh

Your touch so sure,

Yet cautiously restrained

You touch the rain,

Upon my breast 

So cold,

So wet,

But you´re so warm.

Your eyes

So calm, so bold

And my heart is the storm

You smile, I grin

Your senses breathe me in..

I whisper,

"You have me now"

And you smile...

I grin...

Your blue soul pulls me in.
