“Kiss the curb!”
“Wha-what?”
“ #Kiss the curb or it’s buckshot in your face!”
Dude rolled over and put his mouth on the street curb. STOMP-CRUNCH! Obliterated skull.
“You should’ve offered to pay for dinner,” she sneered.
Damn. Bad first date.

the kiss of tea
as a sip
touches lips
the warm
of you being near
cuddles on the couch
watching TV
your laugh
still music
after all these years
protection
safety
you are my surest armor
there is no place
I could go
that is not better
when you're there
love,
you are everyday
and always

Hands gripped his hair, tugging at his brown curls as he felt himself consumed by her warmth locks as she surrounded and engulfed him, she curved into him like a bow. She played on the strings of his heart as the #kiss set his nerves and mind on fire with an aching need for her.

Frain #kisses his wife on the back of the neck. “Smells delicious. What’s for—”
“Pork chops and arsenic sauce.”
He tilts his head. “Sounded like you said—”
“Apple sauce. Pork chops and apple sauce.”
"Hm." He nods. "You're eating too?"
“Right after you, dear. It's to die for.”

Darkness kisses my lips
The supple softness of night
slowly engulfs my soul
The night becomes my blanket
and your touch reassures me
Destiny unfolds its quiet saga
of love and longing
shall we dare the rising tide
or drift toward calmer waters

The shadow-soul writhed in pain. It was hard to wound one but the lambert area meant it wasn't a ghost. The brightness was its blood and it paled when dry. How to reach the bones, make it ache from his touch was a dark thought, a lacuna in compassion. It might die in a kiss. Revenge called.

In Gethsemane
Judas and Jesus embrace—
No #kiss more intense.
A kiss is too intimate
for the start. It should come last.

no man
could hold her heart
so she tied it
to a string
and from a wound
in the sky
that black-lipped oyster
gifted her
a dark moon
her midnight lover
a tahitian pearl
now resting
in the hollow
of her neck
a raven's kiss
