The Kiss

Your first.

One for your birthday.

One of betrayal. One forbidden.

One of death. One from Hershey's.

One to say hello. Another to bid goodbye.

A brush. Hesitating. Tentative. Playful.

Searching. Probing. Scorching. Torrid.

Short. Long. Lingering. Deep.

Two mortals in combat.
Both winning. None losing.
Sliding. Twining. Warm. Hot. Sizzling.
The kiss that seals. Or steals.

One to endear. Another to sear.
One that demands. Another to surrender.

And the one that I love the most -

The kiss that heals.
