The kiss presented another world
opening vistas without regard
for the fall that will result
once soft flesh becomes one
the journey forward is enough
even as the fog descends
to encourage the lost to stray
without regard for surety
the secure are asked to deny
safety grasped in loneliness
dire peril blessed by the joy
with guarantee of a dying drop
guard against the smooch’s lure
while the event is dreamt about
the lechery of happiness
is bless elation before the shame.

The poem “Smooch’s Lure” was not written to **** the act of kissing. The muse took the idea in that direction, and in the end, suggest that kissing is worth the aftermath.
