The Kiss

Come to me
open your lips to mine
and close your eyes
breathe my breath
take my arms in your arms
my mouth in your mouth
my tongue

open the gates
there is heaven in this kiss.

Relinquish your body
and lose yourself in mine
taste me
drink

we have been alone too long.

Let us leave limitation behind and shed what we know
here
where consciousness disbands

let us
open our mouths and unlock the door
let us
let each other in.

Without loving
without knowing
even without having met before
our kisses guide.

Close your eyes to see
not to imagine where we could be
but to revel in where we are

inside
our hearts

phosphoresce

and we are made as one.

But
O
Open your eyes and we are lost

no longer in the kiss
but observing it
you are in what you see instead.

Saliva trembles between our parted lips
glistening
a tremulous connection beckoning us back.

Come to me
open your lips to mine
and close your eyes

breathe my breath

take my mouth in your mouth
my tongue
my taste
drink

open the gates
there is heaven in this kiss.
