YOUR KISS
THE GENTLE PRESSURE
OF YOUR SOFT LIPS ON MINE,
FEELS LIKE A WISP OF WIND.
WAS IT REALLY THERE?
THE TASTE OF YOUR MOUTH
IS LIKE VERY FINE WINE
FRUIT OF THE VINE,
RIPENED BY THE SUN.
ITS FLAVOR LASTING
FOR ONLY A MOMENT
THEN THE FIRE RISES
IN MY HEATED VEINS
AND THE NEED TO
TASTE YOU AGAIN
AND AGAIN
IS SO STRONG,
THAT IF I DO NOT HAVE IT
I SHALL PERISH.
