I will kiss you anywhere and everywhere.
I will kiss you after your morning shower,
when your lips are warm and damp.
I will kiss you in a crowd,
behind your ear.
I will kiss you alone,
paying close attention to your safe, safe hands
and your short, square fingers.
I will kiss you at night,
on the small of you back
when it peeks from beneath your shirt
as you reach to turn off the bedside lamp.
I will kiss you in a storm.
Lightening and all.
I will kiss you when the raindrops become puddles,
and when the puddles become a flood.
And while the flood sweeps us away,
I will kiss you in the space
between the cresents of the waves.
