KISSING THE WOUND

  KISSING THE WOUND             TIM WILLIAMS           JANUARY 2015

YOUR FULL LIPS PAUSE, THEN PROCEED
TO TRACE THE L SHAPED SCAR ON MY BACK
WITH PASSIONATE KISSES TO REPAIR INTERNALLY
AN ALREADY EXTERNALLY HEALED WOUND

THIS ACT ALTHOUGH MAYBE SEEN AS FUTILE
AND UNNECASSARY OR EVEN POINTLESS
AS AN ACT OF HEALING NEVERTHELESS
REPAIRS ME NOT JUST PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY BUT SPIRITUALLY

ALL PARTS OF MY MIND AND BODY
YEARN FOR THIS HEALING PROCESS
AND YOUR ACT OF SPONTANEOUS LOVE
AND AFFECTION MEND ME MORE THAN YOU CAN COMPREHEND

A TOTALLY UNPROVOKED MOMENT OF LOVE
AN UNSPOKEN TOUCH AND RESPONSE
CAN ONLY MAKE ME LOVE YOU MORE THAN EVER
CONFIRMING THE PARTNER CHOICE I MADE AS PERFECT

THERE ARE MANY ROADS THAT LEAD TO HEAVEN
NOT MAYBE THE HEAVEN ABOVE, BUT HERE,
IN A PLACE BOUND TO MY HEART, AND I WILL
NEVER FORGET THAT BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN TIME

WHEN YOUR KISSES TRACED MY WOUND
AND REPAIRED MY SPIRIT AND SOUL
