Kiss Today

SOFT

i thought about your kiss today,
soft and fragile like snow
but not cold -- peaceful like spring puddles
but not so passive -- fierce like the sun's rays
but not painful searing hot -- just sweetly warm
like the summer winds
your kiss is too unique to replicate
but so natural i find pieces of it everywhere
i smile your smile into this kissing-sun
and little tears come -- remembering you months and miles away

if i could fly i would find you
no ocean would bind me
i would cradle your neck in my hand
read your cheekbone with my fingertips
and paint your face with kisses.
