A Single Kiss

They'll live entirely by a single kiss,
Seizing the moment as their mouths concur;
When tongues and lips connect, they have the spur:
The voices in their minds clamour for this;
A flush spreads on her cheeks, it's effortless:
A single kiss repeated still remains
The first drop in her ocean, as he rains
A thousand more on shoulders he'd caress;

And let her eyes shine like the sea-wet stones
Which he picks out, when staring at her shore;
Quite certain that she knows just how to give
Him pleasure with a sigh; suppress the moans
Which emulate the high winds, and restore
That single kiss, by which they're bound to live.
