A Kiss Began Poem by Doan Truong

Intellectual sparkled her smile within
echoed mine
on a university bridge connected us
those warm luscious lips
surreal under Autumn sun
lips unraveled lips
the mysteries played on the harp strings
vibrating the core scared desire
that burnt on the ocean floor
a coral fish passed by
the ocean was toxic with a lone pink flower spread
weakening man's knees
he sank head first
blind,
exploring every corner of the world
where a kiss began
