"A Good Kiss"

by Gabrielle

A good kiss begins with the eyes...the searcher and the sought, because it's in those eyes, in the soul that rests behind twin cerulean pools where I want to be.

A good kiss is in her touch, and in my touch, that speak of intimacy and fearlessness.

A good kiss is in the raise of one sculpted eyebrow, in the tilt of two perfect full lips opening like the petals of a blushing rose....

A good kiss is no hesitation and no rush, spontaneous yet anticipated...

A good kiss becomes an attractor as unyielding as the pull of the tides...as sure as gravity moving each into the other. There is a surety in our movements that screams affirmation as the embrace becomes the cradle and two mouths meet in what begins as a soft caress. A good kiss lives in the memory of a night together, in the warm scent revisited in the mingling of breath. It is that scent which draws me in, wanting more in a body recognition that each of us feels bone deep...a full body embrace, a rush of sensations as, skin against skin, hearts hammer one upon the other and the heat we share becomes a fire of wild blood.

A good kiss is two bodies in one space from thighs to lips as my tongue teases and is granted access -- to slide unhurried and suggestive, inviting strokes that draw hers out to play... to combat and finally to surrender as an approving moan rumbles from her into me like an echo in a cave.

A good kiss is twin pulses thundering irregular and out of time in skins that sing with response and need. There is just this one stolen instant of perfect desire.

A good kiss must either consume or be set free ...and the ending of it must be incremental -- nips and tugs and a detour to the throat that sends shivers through the happy recipient -- then up to the eyes -- blue fire that opens once more to meet my gaze.

A good kiss begins and ends with the eyes.
