Rainy Kiss

There was a kiss in the rain.

Two umbrellas overlapping

At different heights,

A canopy of color

In the grey and moist daylight.

 

Ankles wet, I slide into your kiss.

I fit under your arm

In the sideways kiss of good-bye,

Leave taking, see you soon,

One foot going, the other wishing to stay.

 

Warm and flush from your embrace,

I breathed in the stillness of the moment,

A heart-opening

A heart-filling

A heart-stopping 

Moment.

 

Because,

 

There, in that moment,

Where two umbrellas overlapped,

The world disappeared,

And there, was

A kiss.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This has been put into an anthology but I think i finally got the slow it down to the world disappears for the kiss.

I love how everything

I love how everything disappeared except the kiss. As always, fervently and skillfully constructed, with a feeling of satisfaction throughout. A keeper!
