Unknowingly, I approach you <br />not knowing what you are doing <br /> <br />gazing intently <br />at your hands <br /> <br />completely <br />lost in thought <br /> <br />I stopped <br />not wanting to disturb you <br /> <br />my photograph <br />lay like a leaf on your palms <br /> <br />held like cupped water <br />as if it could spill <br /> <br />you raise it to your lips <br />and as if taking a sip <br /> <br />kissed it <br /> <br />closed your eyes <br /> <br />and smiled <br /> <br />kissed it again <br /> <br />put it quickly away <br />flustered by my footstep <br /> <br />turned delightedly <br />and kissed me <br /> <br />on the lips <br /> <br />again and again <br /> <br />for real.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-real-3/
