A Kiss and Then...

I remember the anticipation

Sitting on the saber’s edge,

Not knowing how the blade might slice

Or just how deep may be its thrust.

 

We were children, so it seemed,

Bursting full with naiveté,

Asking questions born of promise,

Seeking out each other's trust.

 

You with lips so full and ready,

Waiting, Oh! So patiently to

Give your heart, your very all

To one whose step will match your own.

 

I look deep in the well of your eyes

And see right through your very soul

To realize that I was meant to

Spend my life with you alone.

 

I hesitate for but a moment,

Savoring the sweetest sin;

Moving closer, hearts aflutter...

Lips commit...  A kiss, and then....
