The Kiss

Your eyes lock and
some random spark
surges up and down and
inside your body.
You wonder about it,
dream about it,
imagine it until
you close your eyes
and actually feel its
heat.
And then an impatient spontaneous moment
erupts, and you both can't take it any longer -
you need it so much, you gotta just do it.
You lean in and your lips touch,
hot and full exploring hot and full,
and that kiss grabs you as
you dissolve into it.
Your brain rushes, becomes fuzzy,
both your hearts hurl about -
wild and unshackled.
Your body explodes.
You pulsate and tingle, just...
everywhere.
That kiss goes deeper
and deeper
until you melt there.
And the only reason you both finally pull away
isn't because you can't breathe,
(which you cannot)
or that you feel as though you're gonna pass out,
(which you might).
The only reason you pull away
is that you know the longer you linger,
surrendering in its mind-blowing pleasure,
that kiss will take you to a place
you won't know how to leave.
