body

kissed

the best kiss(es) i ever had was from you

i watched your mouth approach eyes half closed

not in uncertainty but in certainty

slow slow certainty and knowing

i saw it in your eyes too

you looked like

you knew this was going to be your kiss of kisses

and my kiss of kisses

and you were just getting ready

and giving me time to get ready

to receive the sweet shock of it

our mouths were masters perfectly matched

and observers looked on because they knew

they would never have it like this

or see such flavour ever again

it was perfect and it was in slomo slomo slomo

even in real time

the taste of it lasted for all eternity

and our lips wooed and explored

like kittens still too baby and blind to see

but wanting to suckle suckle suckle

hunger making hunger hungrier

watching aiming berthing foraging

there was only touch and it never stopped

and i could feel behind closed lids how

the ceiling was spinning and spinning slowly

not evenly but in loops

i had to hold onto you to not slide off the chair

and i was amazed that you could bend down to my lips

and not tip top heavy having breasts and all

a few years later i heard that you had said to friends

i was the best kisser you had ever had -

i had told some friends the same of you -

i still wonder if you'd heard

i love this poem. i remember the feeling so well. if i close my eyes and think hard enough, i get slightly dizzy still. also, love was never in the equation. go figure.
