Lips I've Kissed Before

Someone kissed me last night

familiar warmth, 

wet lips

and a silhouette which I recognised

his outline leaned towards me

I looked for him where his eyes would be

seeing only vast spaces of darkness

- I know you... I know you ...

hesitant fingers ran through his hair 

tight curls on the base of his neck

unassuming hands took hold of his head 

- I know this hair

he found form in the shape of his lips 

pressing them softly on mine

eyes closed I joined in his infinite space 

- I've kissed these lips before 

the warmth of his caress engulfed

my skin from lips to finger tips

he welcomed me deeper under his layers 

- I've been here before

a vacuum of space, no sound, no thing

just flutters of light, tingling motions 

and burning stars which gave the skin goosebumps 

- I've been lost in you before

sitting beside me on the picnic bench

I still couldn't see who he was 

only the universe he held for me within him 

- I've loved you before
