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.
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!
