The Kiss

You gave me a sleepless night
or two, remembering how I tensed
beneath your deep kiss, your
hands, caressing the satin arms
of my blouse; your hands, gentle

in my hair so that I became a cloud,
vapor you oxidized.  That's all 
there ever was, yet in my dreams
of ecstacy, all men become you--
such was the power of that kiss.

Great, with such sensitive description, brevity. You are my kind of poet, dear Nola. Hey, soupers, you don't know what you're missing! Love, daver
