I still remember the feeling I felt
When we first kissed…
I remember the spot my feet pressed into on the stairs
How the light held its softness
In the space around us…
So still
Was everything but my heart.
I remember the way your shoulders turned
As you leaned into me
The tilt of your face
And the scruff of your cheek
And your incredible smell…
You smiled as our lips met
And you pressed into me
All iron and ocean
At once indestructible and immoveable
and yet caressing, fluid and all encompassing
You wooed me with the promises you made me with your eyes…
Your kiss filled me with hope
the swell of your presence overwhelmed me
The power of your arms immured me
I felt you were invincible
and
all
mine.
Your kiss caressed my history
And erased it…
I was safe…
And in love.
