Until Your Kiss I Savor
Was it captivation or wonder that first
led my heart to you?
Perhaps only fascination with fleeting
thoughts of a chance to pursue.
And with every glance my way,
those tempting eyes softly persuade,
your inviting lips dispute any delay.
Bid me come closer and touch your heart anew,
allow me to delight in the warmth
of your breaths that swirl and stream inside you.
Slow, sweet gentle breaths that excite me,
and draw me to your sumptuous lips as they urge
me to taste your love completely.
A Note From Chris
I am posting this for dVerse Poets Pub – Undercurrents this weekend. The prompt is to write a poem that takes into account the different layers of an experience, moment, relationship, person, or object. I have also selected a beautiful fantasy painting by Josephine Wall of England. It is used with her express permission and you can see her work at her website.

A beautiful poem, a beautiful painting. Thank you.
Those kisses stay fresh for so long in memory. The gentleness that beckons to love and its renewal make all life alive with possibility. You’ve captured that well in this form and these words.
