Did You Kiss Me?

Did you kiss me Our lips touch The briefest interlude Of souls embraced Did you kiss me With eyes closed The better to feel you With the sensitive skin of a smile Did you kiss me Invite my tongue To taste the taster of you Lick and swallow until I am gone Did you kissContinue reading “Did You Kiss Me?”

Dusk

The entrance of the night. The beginning of the end of day, where those in the light prepare to lay, and those of the night begin to play. Usher in the darkness, the black and the gloom.
