Just a Kiss

Standing Still Scared Silent 

Both wanting And Yet 

not knowing 

Within arms reach 

And Still so far away 

Until you 

reach Out to me 

My eyes down 

Gaze averted 

Your hand Gently 

Oh so gently 

Touches my belt 

Fingers grazing 

My skin 

You pull me Into you  

More a gesture 

Than a Demand 

As much me Moving 

As you directing 

I melt Into you 

I disappear Into 

your Embrace

I fade.  

No longer thinking 

Barely breathing 

Room spinning 

My head Tucked into Your neck 

My arms Loosely wrapped Around you 

Your arms Encircling My waist 

Your hands Lightly caressing 

My lower back 

And into your Eyes… I look

You simply Whisper “More?” 

My eyes Must have Answered you 

My eyes Must have Told you 

My eyes Must have Whispered 

“Yes” 

Your lips Softly Touching mine 

Not yet a kiss More like a dream 

And,Your lips move 

Asking all the questions 

We are unable to Say 

And, My lips respond 

Your body Shaking Trembling 

Pulling Me Into You 

My body Paralyzed Quivering 

Pulling You Into Me 

A Kiss. 

Softly Slowly Sweetly 

Questioning me? 

Questioning you? 

Our eyes flutter 

Gazes no longer Averted 

My soul escapes 

Finding yours.
