The Kiss.

A look at the way we communicate through touch.

Fantastic, sweet, shy and plump,

Ravishing, kind, swept and deep,

A kiss might but just a kiss,

But this was mine to keep.

Wet, thrilling, exotic and dazzling,

Foreign, common, away and home,

His smile was reckless yet divine,

Like the Christened Chapel in Rome.

Angry, violent, pale and weak,

Pulsing, dead, racing and stopped,

His star was piercing and tame,

So much so my heart just popped.

What a romantic kiss you described! Hot and sexy! Excellent imagery

[CagedBIRDsings]

Romance in so many of its forms. So many things can be gathered from just a single kiss. Lovely word use to express emotions and Brilliantly put together. I agree, playfully romantic but still has a dark edge to it towards the end. Overall good job ~

TF: nice work! Favorite comparison was "his smile...like a Christened Chaperl in Rome" I enjoyed the way it walked the line between the innocence of a kiss and the decadence of it.
