The Kiss

This is only an introduction to an idea I've been working on for a novel. The Dance is so much more intense, and adult.

The Kiss

A simple word for something so wonderful.

Kindly, Indulgent, Soft, and Supple.

All words I associate with the Kiss.

The kiss is just a step in the Dance.

What is the dance? Do you mock me?

The Dance is that intricate, and unknowable

set of steps of love that no one can memorize.

It is unknowable, until you start to Dance.

It starts with a smile, soft and simple.

A lick of your lips, as you gaze at hers.

A step forward, and passion flares.

Move too fast, and the Dance will end.

A soft sigh, heartbeat is your cadence.

Lay your lips gently, and show her the Kiss.

Move softly, follow that drum beat.

Time is meaningless.  There is only her lips.

Press too forceful, and lose the beat.

Move too quickly, and stumble in your haste.

Keep the kiss gentle, basking in her warmth.

Lips that are loving will enjoy this gentle flame.

Softly pull her lip between yours, and taste.

Keep time at bay, and listen to her heart beat.

A gentle touch on her arm, mold yourself close.

Hold her gently, love's flame grows bright.

If you believe you already know this dance,

and wish to quicken the beat, know this one truth

The Dance is never ending,

And never let a kiss be just a kiss.

The rest of the Dance is private,

It is saved for only one.

That one Dream Lady I have yet to meet,

and she is the only one with which I wish to Dance.

My opinion on whether this should be mature or for everyone is conflicted.....One part believes for everyone for we all want that kind of passion, love, commitment ..... to love and be loved

But then on the other hand private for I believe to many rush into love, they don't take the time, the dedication it takes, the understanding of one another and for that relationships, love even the dance fails....to many of the young ones don't understand love, they say they do but really they don't have the experience of having love lasting or love lost....love, relationships partnership should never be taken lightly and should never be rushed into especially when you are too young......sorry I know this didn't help "smiles shyly"

I took it seriously, but considered the idea, and the words, and realize that its quite tame for what most teens read in literature rated for teens. Love is so much more then what I believed it to be when I was young. I'm older now, and I understand more. Hence, the poem, The Kiss.

It's called the seasoned life, we live, we learn and then when we get older we live again....you are completely right, quite tame compared to what teens see now a days :)

I already know this beautiful piece of ink will connect with anyone who has a romantic bone in their body
Very tasteful yet with that hint of being erotic...this kind of connection, this kind of passion is remembered and never considered just another kiss

Very well written and expressed Solitary Traveler yet I never expect anything created by you to be nothing but amazing.......may you find your dream lady one day so that you can dance
