I kissed him first under beautifully bruised skies
Ships’ lights on the water reflected in his clear blue eyes
He traced my face, his hand touched mine
I felt our fingers intertwine
It was like I’d seen him for the first time
those clear blue eyes, lips so divine.
I shivered as my lips met his
My body confirming my mind’s bliss.
I kissed him under that beautiful bruised sky
The balmy breeze making our tongues fly
With soft yet urgent lips we discovered each other
The face of a friend, the hands of a lover
As his fingers danced along my skin
I wondered how I had ever been
without his touch, without his kiss
Now I could never be, knowing it felt like this.
All nature became an aphrodisiac
As pink, orange, purple turned to black.
We came alive under that magical sky
the stars a microcosm of the sparkle in my eye
In his arms, I knew only one thing for sure
Everything had changed, everything was more.
