Until we kiss again!

by selene   Nov 3, 2007


Staring into my eyes with purpose
determination etched in your expression
you swooped to catch my inquisitive look
with your mouth 90% from my own
waiting for me to complete the percentile
and i only went 5%, to your obvious amusement
you like it when i play hard to get
and i like it when i know you like it when i do
so you finished with the remaining 5, and we smiled
i flitted my eyes to see you pondering my lips intently
and then felt safe to examine yours the same

i don't remember who made the next move
but it was awkward, and i broke the attempt at passion
pulling away to rest my cheek on your chest
"that's another new one," i bet you thought
feeling 50% rejected, and 50% eager
or maybe 100% impatient like i said you were
which you wish i didn't say you were

and later on, we tried again...after a few scattered pecks
we tried and something clicked, something burned
that didn't seem to click or burn not long before
taking turns biting the other's lip, top or bottom
it didn't seem to matter which, as long as we nipped
playfully, or nipped firm, or nipped without touching
our eyes closed, the way eyes should be when kissing
with our tongues barely grazing, or caressing
massaging, pressing, flicking, and sometimes licking
and i made you roll over, still lip-locked

you have to admit that move was pretty damn sexy

and so i opened my legs as you crept on top
so that we formed a vine, woven by our limbs and
molded to one another like warm, mushy clay
ever so often, you pressed...i liked it, maybe too much
how could i forget how you bit and mouthed my neck?
working your way down to my chest and back to my chin
and finally, always...back up to my wet lips and tongue

at some point, after a long while, we stopped kissing and
started cuddling, talking in whispers about nothing in particular
then you tried to kiss me again, but my returning kiss was feeble
"my lips are numb," i said, and you contemplated for a second
then responded, "that's because your a bad kisser." i smiled,
i know you too well, i thought, and said, "you are too."
for how alike we are in the way we kid about these things
that might hurt the insecure, but you and i are confident
i know that you know that i'm a good kisser
and you know that i know that you're a good kisser

    Dang you, Queenie. Now I really want to go kiss someone. Sheeeeeeit.

    I know you said you just sort of write what comes to you, without much thought for technicality. But I have to say, this one just sort of "happened" quite well. : D You definitely captured a particular mood. First kisses. Hum de ho hum hoo.. sigh! It's sexy, but not vulgar in the least. I liked the repetition of the "I know you know I know" theme. I think it sort of mirrors the awkwardness of those first kisses - how you play between the joking and the sincere, to sort of preserve yourself, just in case, and both of you know that you're doing it, but can't totally let on. Hmmm.

    K, bring on the boy.
