Lemon Kiss




fresh lemon slice
swirls in mouth
juice breaking pore

boldly, soft lips
touch softer lips
eyes closed,
unmindful 
intersection of noses

smooth cheek on
pine-needled cheek,
pink tongue curls,
duels in
heady exploration

  tequila scents,  
hands lost in
smooth long tresses

drowning
in
salty brine
of ocean’s bed

until breathless
eyes glazing


intoxicated


first kiss

  7. just tweeted... I really like this poem, brings back some memories... lovely images, nice structure, turns on the senses...
    I esp. love these lines:
    hands lost in smooth long tresses... until breathless eyes glazing - intoxicated - first kiss

  15. I would have closed my eyes while I read this but then it would have been kinda hard to see the words.

    Duh. Yeah it's midnight and I'm tired, can you tell?

    What I'm getting at, is this is very visual. After reading it I can close my eyes and see the scene quite clearly. The beauty of it though is that I also see it with my eyes open, which to me is a sign that a piece has hit its mark.

    Love this. <3
