The Kiss

The warm touch of his hand on her cheek.
Her drowsy anticipation of his lips softly brushing hers.

The exquisite pain of longing; waiting for him to navigate
the dusky, gilded river between them.

He laid her on a bed of poppies;
crowned her with a wreath of violets.

The heady perfume of him washed over her
in waves of scarlet and gold.

Breathless; floating between this world and the next...then the kiss.

From the first kiss to the last...I get drunk on your lips.
L.M. Betit
