The Kiss (Maria Melillo Jones)

My unconscious body is overwhelmed with feelings of emotions,

dreams that tempt the mind.

A park bench, along the river pathway, welcomes me to sit with my beloved.

Pleasantly companionable, the river floats gracefully as the sun picks through a portrait foliage of fall.

His hand in mine, the desire for him to kiss my pleasurable lips tormented my mind.

“Do I launch myself into his embrace,

Surprising his views of me,

Or do I wait for him to pull me tight, towards his desirable lips,

With eyes penetrating my soul to the deepest end of our passion?”
