a kiss sounds a bit messy too much saliva the taste of breath
it’s the after-the-kiss that i like (the before is good too) but the after
oh
the closeness the intimacy the sweetness of it
nuzzles and breathless laughs and endless smiles two people tucked so perfectly into the gentle hollows of each other
i want it i want to be breathless with you noses touching fingers brushing two people loving
hands shake a little tremors in the wrist as my fingers touch you, light as a summer mist
the feeling fills me full this sensation of bliss it’s so good, so very good this lovely after-the-kiss
i would close my eyes to just breathe you in
the points of contact: (where i feel you) nose fingers arm waist knees
where i feel my pulse: (it’s everywhere, like the scent of you) behind both ears left side of my neck right wrist near veins inner right knee arch of my left foot under my jaw
too many places
am i dying
that feels like a possible outcome
i’ll die happy ecstatic in love terrified content safe and sound
so many things i feel so many things to list there is so much, almost too much, about this lovely after-the-kiss
Just a love poem I wrote for my partner at midnight.
