A Kiss From You

a kiss from you
was more beautiful to me
than the beauty many see
in an endless ocean view

i asked for our first kiss
in a way that didn’t seem ideal
another line wouldn’t have been real
and wouldn’t have left us in bliss

i simply looked into your eyes
leaned closer to you, baby
put my hands on your body

and, our lips touched

your lips were softer than silk
more plush than any teddy bear
and filled with an ironic lust of care

you were beyond perfect

i could enjoy nothing as true
as that magical experience
of a shared, precious innocence
endowed in

a kiss from you
