The Kiss

"The Kiss"  Gustav Klimt

Liquid eyes conveying intensity
Of the unspoken
Instinctual body in recognition,
Held breath, tense muscles, hummingbird heartbeat
Time stops and the body hums
vibrating like single stroke of a bow on cello string
Resin evaporating in the air as friction dissolves into a rich note

Pulsating
nothing else exists
Hazy dream,
Mind struggling to connect with the quivering body
Burning....aching....anticipating....
in a drugged state of awakeness
million beating wings

can’t breathe, can’t think, can’t resist
Infinite millisecond
Before your lips meet mine
