a little kiss

 

unease before meeting, cause

 a long pause that was heartbreaking

the moment he came into view

nothing else in the world felt true or anew


like a bird

at the sight of him

she rose and flew


like lightning

a thrill of joy 

came rushing gushing through


arms circling his back

face resting on his chest

a moment rehearsed and played

like undercurrents that never faded


lowered his head 

placed on hers

a kiss fell light

like a drifting breeze for the quiet night



time to say goodbye

but it never was enough, alright?

ten thousand seconds dissolved into the night 

when each breath a haven, serene and bright


a trace of sorrow

wrapped in the steady halo

arms circling his back

face resting on his chest


didn't know what to say

rarely found the words to weigh

how much she wishes that this could stay

the thoughts of him keep churning in gentle sway


leaned down at ease

his lips lovingly grazed hers

a kiss in the midnight breathes

tender as the hush the nightwind weaves



a little kiss

a little time

a little love


a little kiss

a little time

a little love


sometimes it sets her softly bobbing

but night returns with quiet throbbing

too often, she's left in silent sobbing


a little kiss

drew out a rainbow

 arching toward an Eden in the sky


a little kiss

grew an ivy

pulling her back down to the center of the eye


a little kiss

spun a web

elude is a dream though she may try



that little kiss

waits to turn into lingerings

on her cheeks as he whispers slow --

the feelings found a mirrored flow


but that little kiss

wishes to stay forever flutterings

come and go as the desire he follows

tethered to neither sorrow, nor to morrow



the little kiss

exists beyond the bounds of time and space

painting her a vision in place

of a human future she would long to chase


but the little light kiss

carries the weight of time and space

won't help her outrun the written script

of being laced inside a silken case



a little kiss 

as natural as breath can be 

sings a song of souls that spark 

like stars in the flame of pounding hearts


but a little kiss

as pure as it's meant to be

finds no place to rest its arc

among cold concrete in the unending dark



"but baby"

a voice broke through --

lightning splits the deadly night

birds tear wide the solemn sky

flowers crack the concrete tight

poems soothe the enduring plight

wistful kisses and loves

none should shine any less bright

unyielding rivers and oceans

 all will find the way in twilight flight
