In That Split Second Before Lips Meet.

In that split second before lips meet.

 

>< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< >< ><

In that breathless
eye glazing moment
before a kiss,
the world around
takes on a sheen,
of crystal clarity.

><

Eyes become magnets

that four pupils study

in rapt wonder
as their forces propel two
sets of lips to gravitate
into a buttery soft meld.

><
Then eyes close in sweet bliss,

as lips communicate love
but beneath shuttered lids
remains a sparkle.

><
A heat that grows

and overwhelms,

an image burned

on the retinas

passions flame simmering
as the most perfect connection
becomes sealed,

like two o-rings

protecting liquid love.

><

Noses side by side,
tongues teasing together,
and small gasps as lips break,
and then reglue with
eager adhesion to love
found in the sharing of
this silent wonder.

 ><

Love is a smorgasbord

of tantalizing delights,

its appetizer is the kiss

that makes all lovers

wet their lips

in anticipation

of the

nectar 's

it holds.
