This Kiss
By Rocky Dickerson


Some say that a kiss is what we
wish the truth to be

I say a kiss is
        The truth

Truth is power
What is more powerful than a kiss?

The...             anticipation

The moment

Looking in their eyes
Looking for the truth
The fire within
                                        Stealing my breath

The moment

My heart is
        Pounding
My pulse is
        Racing
        Throbbing
My temperature
        Rises
A magnet pulls me
        Closer still

A moment of but a second
And I await the minutes taken
Until

The sweetness of her lips
    Tender
        Soft
            Caressing
I lose myself
I am no longer separate for
We are
Together in
 

This kiss
