The Kiss

I do remember that the sky

was bluer than I'd ever seen.

We sat upon the grassy ground,

with my face strangely close to yours.

Our conversation easy flowed,

but what we said I can't recall.

Why were we there, just you and I?

Two souls in quiet company . . . 

And then, quite unexpectedly,

you leaned in close and kissed me. Long.

Your lips felt soft and warm on mine.

My, how you took my breath away!

Then I awoke with such a start!

Twelve minutes after three it was.

A passing dream and nothing more.

But

you stayed on my mind

all the next day

because

I could not get that kiss

out of my head or

off my lips

because

it may have been

just a dream and 

nothing more

but

it was no

you were

so real

so real

at twelve minutes 

after three

it was or

it is no

you are

so real

so real

still. 

. . . .

We sit upon the grassy ground.

Our conversation easy flows.

Your lips feel soft and warm on mine.

It seems to me today the sky

is bluer than I've ever seen.

Still.
