Kiss me
without reservation
or calculation
or malice aforethought.
Kiss me
like a drowning man
gasps for air and
takes in water.
Kiss me
with your body
beheaded, reaching
for that one sublime moment.
Kiss me
blind and deaf and dumb,
the Helen Keller Kiss
of all time.
Kiss me
along signals
of chemistry and
the surge of my bloodstream.
Don’t ask
don’t think
don’t wait
just kiss me.






‘Kiss me
like a drowning man
gasps for air and
takes in water.’
Magic!
