Book: Castle View Rainy Kiss
There was a kiss in the rain.
Two umbrellas overlapping
At different heights,
A canopy of color
In the grey and moist daylight.
Ankles wet, I slide into your kiss.
I fit under your arm
In the sideways kiss of good-bye,
Leave taking, see you soon,
One foot going, the other wishing to stay.
Warm and flush from your embrace,
I breathed in the stillness of the moment,
A heart-opening
A heart-filling
A heart-stopping
Moment.
Because,
There, in that moment,
Where two umbrellas overlapped,
The world disappeared,
And there, was
A kiss.
Old Version
There was a kiss in the rain.
Two umbrellas overlapping
At different heights,
A canopy of color
In the grey and moist daylight.
Ankles wet, I slide into your kiss,
I fit under your arm
In the sideways kiss of good bye,
Leave taking, see you soon,
One foot going the other wishing to stay.
Warm and flush from your presence
In the stillness of the moment.
A heart stopping
A heart filling
A heart opening
Moment
Where the world disappeared,
Two umbrellas overlapped
There was a kiss.
I love how everything
I love how everything disappeared except the kiss. As always, fervently and skillfully constructed, with a feeling of satisfaction throughout. A keeper!
