and so
finally I dare
reach over
and touch my lips to yours
and the life that you flow
back to me
through your lips
invites more
so our lips part
and our tongues intertwine
and our breath mingles
and we are drawn into each other
emotional connection following physical
soul connection following emotional
what a joy in sharing
what a profound affirmation
you give to me
in your willingness
to plunge us both
into the sensual spirituality
of a kiss
