Kiss


He caught me staring,
Knew I wouldn’t be sharing,
Raised a brow and looked down,
His smirk suddenly turned into a frown.

He was the darkness in the light,
Knew I saw him as a creature of the night,
Thoughtfully reaching for my hand,
His motives for this I’ll never understand.

His action warmed my cheeks and made me melt.
While knowing what he did, knowing what I felt,
He leaned down to whisper in my ear.
His voice became more than I could bear.

He told me nothing sweet,
Knew we shouldn’t meet.
Yet he kissed his way to my lips,
Hands coming up to rest on my hips.  

When we broke apart,
I suddenly felt something sting my heart,
And he left without a word to forget,
To leave me with a taste of what I can get.

He had been cruel and a person to blame,
Wrong and evil-doing had been the same,
But then there came maturity; a promise sealed with a kiss,
And I fell in love with a shadow, realizing what I’d miss.
