KISSES

I feel the kiss of the wind

In my hair

Playfully, a heart laid bare

I feel the kiss of the rain

Upon my face

Upturned, in ecstatic grace

I feel the kiss of the night

Within my soul

Mending shattered sighs, whole

I feel the kiss of the dawn

Behind my eyes

Refrains of a soothing reprise

Yet….

I feel the blood in my veins

Cooling

Stalling

Clotting

Waiting….

Endlessly waiting….

For that almost kiss

To light up

My dark…writhing…abysss…

For that coveted kiss, that never came!
