2002-10-17 Rainy Kiss*

Folder: 
Book: Castle View

 

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.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Outside Barry's Cafe on a flood flash warning afternoon.  Car door open I took one last kiss. The rain dampened the sounds of the day and made our moment so much more intimate.  Where the world disappeared to in that moment I dont know.
