The Kiss Poem by Jim Milks

Two lovers share a secret embrace,
in his arms is her hiding place.
One look into his eyes and
she is completely hypnotized

The touch of the lips, an electric spark
A journey to another place they do embark
Their souls meld, her fears expelled

The milk white flesh of her neck betrays
the crimson flow that lies beneath.
All that she is or will ever be, to
him she does bequeath

An open grin and a flash of teeth
With a bit of red and a coppery taste
he takes his prize without any haste
In his arms she slowly dies.

“With this act
our journey has just begun
For a thousand years we shall be one”

Into the night they flee,
the darkness their sanctuary,
the light their enemy.
