A Kiss

What is it about a kiss that tantalizes the heart, while filling the soul with bliss? The pleasure of it is such that it begs intimacy; a feeling beyond mere touch. It's how humans convey love, augmenting reality with passion poets speak of. It's a smoldering embrace that ignites flames of desire; melting the fabric of space. It heals hurts with its magic: making small pains go away, and bigger ones, less tragic. It's a sensual caress; physically imbuing feelings souls wish to express. It is like a promise made: a symbol of your love and an emotional band-aid.
