"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?… There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do…as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." ~M.Williamson

I remember the first time
I kissed you
when I poured out my passion
like wine on your lips
and my sighs
were the breath in your lungs.
I will never forget
waking from that dream
and wondering
if it will be like that
the first time you kiss me.

Sometimes you kiss a frog and find out he's a prince. Sometimes you kiss a prince and find out he's a frog. Rarely you kiss a prince and discover he's a prince through and through.

There are many kinds of kisses.
You may be kissed by fate,
perhaps by a faithless bullet
that had misspelled your name.
The one that just barely misses
offered by a shy date
can make your thoughts of love reset,
change the rules of the game.

"No thank you. The last one kinda backfired."
"Serves you right. I told you not to try and manifest an Edsel."

Do I have to spell it out for you
Can you not just hear it in my sighs
You think that because your facts are true
You have all that you need to be wise
But mere knowledge is not true wisdom
And power is not assigned at birth
And a castle is not a kingdom
It takes kindness to rule the Earth

'Phantom Reverie'
I dreamt about dreaming that food no longer had flavor.
Return the favor and take from my mouth the shade of your kisses.
Leave me some memories my soul could possibly savor.
Don't smother my heart with ghost thoughts that hide what it truly misses.

'Exploring Fantasies'
I thought of you as I touched myself with your hands.
I dreamt of the day when we'll make love in far lands.
Replete with the sweet imaginings of your kiss,
Longing for the reality of coming bliss,
My body pliant, fluid as water with nerves,
Your flesh the river bed for my hollows and curves,
I would flow over you, surround you with my soul,
Take you in and feel your body making mine whole.

My lips are parched - a
desert not from dryness but
a drought of kisses.

I kiss your temple as gently as I can, trying not to wake you. You mumble an inaudible endearment and hug me in your sleep.

The wind caresses my cheek
With the ghost of his kisses
The creaking tree branches speak
In the voice my heart misses

You kiss me
standing in the doorway
and all of a sudden
I’m home.

He crossed the room in three long strides and hugged me longer than convention dictated. Emboldened or perhaps weakened beyond resistance, I tipped my face up and pressed my lips to his. Whether he'd planned it or not, he suddenly found himself kissing me back.

His kiss when I came through the door was so roborant to my spirit that I would cling to him for several moments. I felt like a computer rebooting and had come to nickname this welcome home greeting as "hitting the reset button" at the end of my day. I almost felt like a new woman.
