Waltz

First Kiss Prompt

I still taste the memory of our first kiss…


…your gaze
lingers on my lips,
then glides back
up to my eyes;

you scour
their depths,
and find consent
interspersed with
mutual desire.

you reach for me,
pull me close till
your fresh breath
caresses my nostrils;

our eyes flutter shut
just as our lips brush
for a sample of nirvana.

enraptured,
we dive in;
tongues duel,
then surrender.

your arms encircle
my waist while mine
twine round your neck,
drawing you deeper into me.

as our lips waltz
to the music of our
synchronized heartbeats,
the dance floor fades away
and we’re the only two beings
in the universe.

your tongue incites
riots throughout my body,
thoughts run helter-skelter;
my nerve endings tingle,
as if my entire existence
is somehow tied to this kiss.

when the music ends,
we reluctantly break the spell;

oblivious to the standing ovation,
the only thing that makes sense
is how much we want more,
how desperately we need more,
so we lean in for the encore…
