Tell Me How To Kiss You
© by Rogue Poet

Tell me how not to kiss you.
Tell me how to resist
what my heart yearns for.
Tell me how to stifle the tenderness
I feel every time I look at you.
Tell me how to look away
when just the sight of you
makes even my eyes smile.

How can I look away
when the vision of you
draws my sight
like iron to a magnet?
How can I resist the kiss
when I see the same
longing in your eyes?
How can I suppress a tenderness
so profound, my inability
to express it,
brings tears to my eyes?

Tell me how not to press
my lips to yours,
softly...
sweetly...
passionately....
Tell me how to resist the passion
I feel in your fingertips
trailing across my skin.
Tell me how to forget
you admitted to me... attraction.
Tell me how to ignore
my own heart
when you smile at me.

How can I help but pine after you?
How can I extinguish the roaring
flames of my desire to be with you?
How can I stop the inspiration
that just goads my heart
into higher expressions of passion?

Tell me how to kiss you.
Tell me to not leave you alone.
Tell me you don’t want me to stop.
Tell me you want my kiss.
Tell me the truth.
