This poem was written as an entry into the Short Poetry Boards at AOL's Instant Novelist Area on the theme of "Kissing"!
- it fell into my head, I wrote it, and so be it... -
Kissing Kate
Kissing me is like
rich melting ice-cream
juicy suck on watermelon
in a sweltering August day...
The honeyed coolness of
my lips, succor to your
heated need; slaking
that certain thirst...
Kissing me is as
if you fell from
a great height yet
floating down to Earth...
The rolling tumble
feeling in your gut
tickle and tumult
before soft landing...
Kissing me is like
losing yourself
in a moment's dream
wishing never to end...
A small bit of ecstasy
given sweetly, yet not shy
received as a gift given
for merely being you...
k.e.c., 7/1/97
