First Kiss

I had been kissed before this night.

But only by the mandolin winds of the sea,

made tender by the rains of heaven.

I called in prayer to the mighty sea

and stood in the pouring springtime rains.

Their kisses falling like promises.

You came to me

I wish no more for such heavenly kisses

and now I do not need them.

You have me here now where kisses

are of my body with passions of fire.

I prayed in grace for your kiss on my mouth

to bring this fulfillment to my need.

I am but yours and you are mine

Attached by our hearts in loves mystery

What was spiritual is now of my flesh

And my flesh belongs to you
