A Kiss Poem by Matthew Holloway

A kiss, your kiss
It was that which awoke me
To a world I’d forgotten
Long since had I chosen to escape
To a place of merry dreams
Long since had I left behind
My hope, my faith, reality
A torment has been imprinted
On my soul, my psyche
To have thought your lips
Not in speaking would move me
To awaken into this world
How could I thank you
Other than a kiss in return
To place my lips upon yours
In a lovers embrace
And in the full woken light
Look into your eyes
Only to fall in love
