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.
