It Was Just a Kiss

How was I to know?

It was just a kiss.
How was I to know it would drop me
Into madness,
Compulsion,
Fervor?

So simple an act.
Coming together for a slice of time,
Yet I am bound -
A prisoner -
Trapped.

Lives intersected,
The heart’s addition of one plus one
Equaling merely one.
Catalyst of
Rebirth.

My mouth knows hunger
Having tasted of heaven’s banquet,
Unsatisfied
With earthly
Desserts.

A life completed
Is now dependent on another.
It wasn’t Magic.
It was just
A kiss.

    This is really a beautiful poem. My favorite verse:

    My mouth knows hunger
    Having tasted of heaven’s banquet,
    Unsatisfied
    With earthly
    Desserts.

    It’s passionate, strong and divine.

    Blessings!

    Sincerely,

    -Liane Schmidt.

    one simple kiss has been the undoing of many.
