I kiss like
a thunderstorm,
crashing into your lips
with the force of a
hurricane, I haven't felt
the rain in far too long
There is a promise
sealed to your mouth,
a record you can feel
beneath your tongue
reminding you that
I'll stay forever
locked in your eyes --
I won't move until
you break your gaze
I kiss like
I'm dying, the candle
flickering down to
the wax, no amount of
kindling can revive me
from a death like this
And when your breath
unfolds from the back
of your throat, you'll
kiss me back to life,
falling back into step
with everything
I knew before,
your bricklayer's tongue
chiseled between
my teeth --
we fit
like rungs on a ladder,
pulling me back to the surface
I kiss
like a firestorm,
knowing that
one day
something
will blow me away

I kiss like

with the force of a

reminding you that
I'll stay forever
locked in your eyes --
I won't move until

And when your breath
