The Kiss That Never Was


So close your breath tingles my skin.

A transient kiss, placed on illusive lips.
I so wish, this moment would eternally exist.

Unfortunate souls bounded by love.
Two cold hands, in one glove.

Yet so far it's all a blur, this confusion I must concur.

This moment won't go in vain. 

because i know, it will be a while till i dream of you again.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Lord's blessings be with you.
