THIS POEM IS A GLIMPSE, A SMILE AND A KISS
This poem is a glimpse
This poem a smile
This poem is a kiss
This poem is a glimpse as of
Strangers, but not so at all,
It is you, full of mischief
After our recent tryst
This poem is the smile you
Toss, at my greedy heart,
Wanting more, so much more
Of you, i swear i will swoon
This poem is a feather light kiss.
The kind that tingles and awakens
Desire, seeping through bones, to soul
Correct in effervescence
This poem is that glimpse of you, hours after
This poem is your smile, lingering through my day eternalizing minutes
This poem is your kiss, light enough to stir my soul.

A great title, Gillena, and I love the way it echoes through your love poem, the cheekiness of ‘It is you, full of mischief / After our recent tryst’, the way you describe a kiss, and the smile ‘lingering through my day’.
