That fleeting touch! <br /> <br />Of the one thing softer and sweeter than a rosebud, not quite in bloom. <br /> <br />I can imagine you, in the split second before my eyes close. <br /> <br />Leaning over me, leaning in, your hands in my hair. <br /> <br />Hovering in a delirious moment, almost afraid to cross <br /> <br />That short, immeasurable space. <br /> <br />A warm breath, so close, so very close. <br /> <br />Thawing my cool skin, turning chill marble to fevered flesh <br /> <br />Ice Princess, never! For I am aflame! <br /> <br />The bridge is crossed, all that remains are it's embers <br /> <br />Written here, wreathed in fervor, with your lips upon mine <br /> <br />An inferno which can never be quenched.<br /><br />Megan Lacey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-kiss-33/
