Love Stinks

How would I kiss you?Let me describe the ways -

I would hold your gaze with mineas I approach the corner of your mouth,then softly kiss you there.

I would kiss your eyes, one by one,with my fingers tease your chestand press closer into your warmthI would inhale the scent of your hair,drawing a draught of you deeplyinto my being, into my heart.

I would move to your ear and linger…whispering your name withthe warmth of my breath,then softly kiss you there.

I would kiss, lightly as a hush,your cheek, then very slowlyreturning to your mouth, pause,then brush it with my burning lips.

Then softly I would kiss you there,press you closer into my warmthinto my being, into my heartand savour the aching anticipationthat wells in throbs within,the want of more of you…
