When our lips first meet

When first our lips meet
no, wait, before our lips

our eyes
hold my hand, hold my glance
then step, once, twice
face to face
nose to nose
I'll tip my chin just a bit

kiss me hungrily
passionately
as if it's the first, last and only
kiss you've ever kissed
tender and sweet
hard and lustful

all, all for you
all for me

then take a breath
but keep my face in your hands
and your eyes locked on mine

I'll step back in
we'll kiss again
deeper this time

let lips do what only our souls have done
comfort, caress, protect, fulfill

slide your hands to my waist
pull me to you
leave no room for darkness
we've chased it all away now

before we fall
into the throes of our long longing

first
kiss me

kiss me as though
you've never kissed me before
kiss me as though you've spent
nights dreaming of nothing
but kissing me

hold me close
as though you'll never let me go
and don't
don't ever
let me go
just kiss me
and kiss me
and kiss me
