KISS ME THREE TIMES
It was a brilliant late spring afternoon, with breezes as sweet and warm as lover's breath, when they found each other.
At first it was all push/pull/clutch/grab with each desire fulfilled inflaming the next in its turn, until each had feasted at the banquet of the other. This took the time that it took, no less and no more, and it was immense in its bliss, so would live within them, the pulse of the moment giving rhythm to their desires for the rest of their lives.
Then it was languid, exploring, complete with giggles and sound effects, soft in its own way, and yet charged with life, a connecting current.
And then the charm, the third connection, the one that curled their toes and made them believe that maybe more was possible, after all. This could be what they wanted.

A passionate kiss
should steal the breath, stop the heart,
and bounce off the soul.
