The Kiss

Your eyes called out to me, but
I wasn't sure, I hesitated.
And then we kissed.
Your lips.

Your lips were so soft,
softer than finest silk,
with a flavor sweeter
than the nectar of the
gods.
And powerful.

When we kissed,
my head was spinning
and the world faded
away.
You transferred energy
enough to restore life
where it was lost, return
youth and ensure love
and happiness.
And delicate.

Incredible was the moment that
I would make it last forever
if I had the power.
That moment, that all too
brief period of time, will stay
with me until God takes it
away. I will never compare
anything to that first
kiss because
Nothing could ever
parallel that moment.
And insatiable.

You have brought to me
feelings that are
indescribable with your
kiss. I long to relive
those feelings. I would
perform any feat or
make any sacrifice,
If only you would
kiss me again.
