Kissing Me Poem by David McLansky

Kissing me
You closed your eyes
And hung upon my lips,
Lingered there as your hands
Splayed my finger tips;
My hand reached down
And touched your breasts,
I felt your beating heart;
Your soul did chase
My heated breath
As I pulled our lips apart;
I cannot be for you all things,
All life for you to share,
For me a distant ship bell rings
That summons me, beware;
And though your eyes devour me
With pledges of devotion,
I sense in me a call to sea
To wander all life's ocean.
