Analysis of A kiss
Our roam has brought us here
Under these slicing and cold air
We stood toe to toe
Under this mistletoe.
I saw an escape of light in your eyes
It is just like the goodness of ice
Your hands found my longing neck
Rested as if on a deck.
It was a moment awaited
Now that we are wedded
Love sparkled from my inside
And my fingers trembled as I touched your side.
The whispers of your vows again
Came to my memory like a shower of rain.
The laughter now is different
Its echoes the trees rent.
Your forehead my hair oil painted
A passion true my soul flooded
Invincible lines your fingers drew
On my coy face and I felt new.
Grey painted the light
And the twilight had such a sight
The weather here blew fine
Your lips wrapped in mine.
