Measurements of a Kiss
When I kissed you
Silk rolled out from spring's green mill
Tinted with nervous sparks of morning glories
Feathers fell from sunburnt clouds
And trembled on snow's frozen laughter
Foxes crawled out from throat's dark burrow
Drenched in slippery rain of enslaved desires
A serpent's cold tongue licked cerebral strings
Playing desert's song of melting sandiness
A dormant volcano erupted without warning
Frightening gut's sleeping butterflies
A wild horse galloped shaking its mane
Trampling ripe plums on heart's palpitating meadow
A rampaging train of bleeding pomegranates
Transported iniquities of sweet bites
It's needle troubled by bouts of feverish breathing
Nose's compass forgot to navigate bearings
Lips gave up guarding ramparts of decency
And surrendered like defeated hermits
In that chaos of enflamed infinity
I sensed yards of blood racing in my veins
And I measured your kiss
With dreams inside a cuckoo's egg
