When we kissed… The velvet wet softness of your lips Transported me to another realm. The moist undulations of our lips Twirled my chakras in erotic whirls. I breathed your essence, And the scent of you elated my soul. We were as one, for that moment in time. The aching of the universe disappeared, Behind a veil of Impulsive passionate sensuality. As I inhaled you, Enchantment pervaded my inner spirit. When we kissed… Our inner restraints were discharged, Our spirits merged, Bonding the very essence of our beings. We were alive, totally together. In that momentary journey, We were as one, And at peace. Closed eyes blanketed the yearning of humanity, Yesterday's regrets and tomorrows hopes were forgotten… As we were living only for that moment. Souls in harmony… Sinking into bliss. Soaring as our lips met and caressed, We forgot the outer world. But - Your kiss was my nemesis For now I yearn for it, I yearn to hide from the universal ache, Once more, I yearn for you to Kiss me.
