The Kiss
Tip of the heart
Gateway to the soul
Lips play a part
In making us whole
A delicate touch
The subtlest caress
Means so much
Its heavenliness
When hopelessly in love
They’re impossible to ration
Like stars up above
Laced with passion
It takes but a moment
But can last forever
A Gloriously potent
Paradisiacal endeavour
A wondrous feeling
Magical to find
Heads floating, hearts reeling
Lovers entwined
Lost in a fantastical reality
Inhabited by two
Far removed from normality
But deliciously true
Once it ends
You ache like never before
But the heart never mends
If the body craves more
No other act
Encapsulates such beauty
Should never be matter of fact
Or performed out of duty
Sometimes ever so tender
Or delivered with lustful aggression
Recipient or sender
The ultimate expression
Kissing your lover
With raging desire
A feeling like no other
Perpetual fire
In its absence I contemplate
The emotion I’ll miss
I’ll forever celebrate
The majesty of a kiss
