Short Lived
One kiss.
One touch of lips to another's
is all needed;
All needed to completely unravel
what one knows of this world;
Of right and disgraceful,
Crime, hate, desire, passion
and everything known in existence.
Mind goes numb;
One, two, three moments of raw passion;
Loss of breath as breath is given
Loss of sensation as feeling is given
And unshed tears trail
down their non-existent path down dry cheeks.
One small moment
is frozen in eternity.
Frozen.
As a child of fear.
And yet no fear here.
Sparks leaping between hearts,
Emotions overwhelm,
and heart flat lines.
Not one word on God's green Earth
can define such a moment as this.
Sparks blossom; fireworks bloom,
expanding one's chest to the breaking point
and broken in two becomes one's heart.
A lost cause; As a child
abandoned at a train station.
Passersby stare, mind numbs, emotions falter.
And these fireworks become spent
and sputter into lifelessness.
Before long, this spark is no more.
Cold flames lick at one's tongue.
Comfort is found in
deceit, lies, and frustration;
The touch of one's lips to yet another's:
One kiss
