You Kissed Me

I can still feel you, even now, at this moment, though hours have passed. I see us there: the darkness of the room, the laughter in the air, the music on the radio, the undercurrent of passion flowing like a river contained, but just barely, the anticipation gripping us both. When you looked into my eyes, took my face in your hands and... then you kissed me, so softly, so gently, and with that kiss the floodgates of rapture exploded, bursting wide and we were swept up in a current of time, love, and a need for an out of this world, once in a lifetime re-connection. I can see the desire in your eyes, feel the hunger on your lips and I know you feel it in mine, see it in mine. We are lost, lost in a moment, lost in a reawakening of the heart - finding each other. I'm drowning in you, in the feel of your body on mine. Everything else around us has fallen away - there is only you and me in this moment. All because you kissed me...
Twilight envelops,
Shadows dance on the wall
In the softness of this room,
And you kiss me,
Surely the moon must be smiling.
Your breath
Hot against my neck,
your heart thunders beneath my fingers
And you kiss me,
Surely the stars must be dancing.
Your hands
Cradling my face,
Your fingers trace my lips
And you kiss me,
Surely the heavens are singing.
Your body,
Melting, curving into mine
I forget how to breathe
and you kiss me,
Surely the night is laughing.
Passion rising
Squeezing, pulling you into me tigher
My body arching beneath yours
And you kiss me,
Surely God is nodding his approval!
