I Didn'T Close My Eyes When I First Kissed You..... Poem by Marshall E Gass

No I didn't. It was all pre-planned.
I wanted to see the stars come out
on your warm accepting lips
and bring the cosmos into our meeting
and I wanted to see if you would close
your eyes in that delicate moment!
You didn't too. Now I wonder why?

I guess you wanted to see
if my universe was locked
in that same embrace and if
(only if) I would melt deliciously
into that ice-cream moment?

But when we discovered that
we were both wide-eyed in wonder
our eyes closed automatically
into an inner self
where the doors locked and keys turned
to shut us into a private cubicle
where two people melted
as one.
