Crash

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
