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.
