Kisses

Kiss me once, then once again.

Let us linger yet a while

Til every thought is you and I

And we have melted into one.

 

One heart, one mind, one endless thought

To travel cross the universe,

Sweet sensations unexplained

Where explanation holds no course.

 

Confectioners could ply their trade

With sweetness garnered from your lips,

And I am lost to ponder

That I once existed e’er we met.

 

And all the seven wonders fail

To fill my simple mind with glee,

And pale before the joy you bring

With but a moment on your lips.

 

Pause I may and pause I must

To count the ways that life is blessed.

No greater bounty could I ask

Than the subtle treasures of your kiss.
