Afterglow Of The Kiss

From a first timid kiss when we're kids till the last one when we're mature, - all through life, what speaks of love and desire better than kissing? From caring to passion, a kiss expresses it. What is more memorable? It gives me goose bumps just to think of it, and again experience the feel of it.

Meander with me through special moments. Let your thoughts embrace your own sweet moments.

Indulge. Be in the moments.

I wanted to write you

A poem tonight,

At the end

Of this glorious day.

I wanted to light up

Your life tonight,

And to dare

All the words can say.

I wanted to thrill

To your touch and your voice,

As I wanted to fill up

With you.

As I think of this day

I tremble with love

And the things

You have taught me to do.

I ached! How I yearned

To be near you this night;

And I wanted - oh, wanted

This moment to share.

And now do I have it? - I have it,

Your cherished love

In our special garden;

In that moment, - rare.

Wherever you touch me

I come alive.

So touch me

Everywhere.

When someone

Touches you

And reaches where

You haven't been,

You'll never be the same again

No matter what you do.

It lives beyond its shelf.

And now ~

The sun dares,

The moon beseeches,

The earth commands

The very soul of me.

The pitter-patter of this heart

Forever then demands

Itself

To be.

So this is it, -

Not an old love,

Not a new love,

Not an "in love"

But a true love -

As I have always

Known to be.

Where air is rare.

Too bare to breathe,

Too sweet, its ends.

Where pulse

Is almost standstill,

Our secret dream unfolds,

Our special place portends

Its pleasures.

Its air refines,

Defines and holds

Its secret sense,

The way of magic -

Transporting me to you.

Give me

All of you

And I will be

Content.

Show me

All you do,

And I'll know

What you meant.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

I've never been here before

Where the sky and earth

Open up completely,

Meeting you

Totally.-

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

I'll make you a garden of stars,

Said she to her love,

And shuttle you

Here and there to each place.

You may visit the galaxies

Where the brightest lights play

And trail among a comet's display

On its passionate flight

Through space.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

There feels to be

No boundary,

No distance and no time

'Tween me and thee.

When love so sweet,

So bright and glowing

Cushions day

And makes it light.

When passion's stream

So warmly flowing

Pours itself

Upon the night.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

I've kissed the night,

I've kissed the day

And felt your presence there.

I cannot say

Which I love more,

So long as you are near,

Our lips expressing

Deep delight.

______© Nellieanna H. Hay

My heart flows

To wherever you are

And seeks your eyes,

Your silent eyes,

Shouting messages as clear

As when you're near

With lips beseeching mine

To kiss.

I want to want you not

But I still do,

Knowing the luxury of those lips

On mine.

And more - much more.

"As Time Goes By"

music and words by Herman Hupfeld

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss,

A sigh is just a sigh.

The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
