Kiss

I get lost in the taste of your lips

you drag me down a pit of lust

and worse

love

I tangle my fingers in your hair

so it will be harder for you to leave me

when you eventually try to

I used to think kissing

was clearer than this

clean cut

black and white

but when our tongues crash together

an explosion of colours

detonates in my chest

I gasp for breathe

trying to capture

some semblance of sanity

and I fail every time

your hands pull me close

yet I feel as if

there is still too much space

between us

I shiver as you hold me

the passion flowing through us

almost too much

for me to comprehend

we part

and all I can think of is starting again

how were we strangers

before this

how did I live without this

without you

you make me feel beautiful

you make me feel happy

and I want you to feel the same

is that too much to ask

is it?
