Analysis of A Passionate Kiss
Feelings of comfort
That where my heart can endlessly rest
The contents darkly of my mind, I dare not speak
Keeping my tounge in cheek
The act of kindness, an idea so bold
But holding you in my arms, a passionate fold
Drawing me in through your eyes
Drawn together, like the seas and the skies
Lips lock, a short lasting but longing bliss
To embrace for us, a passionate kiss
To hold in my will
Time and space both hold still
It's not any lustful temptation, or sinful charms
Not a moment outside the embrace of your arms
Fly my body in a down low
To that secret place all souls go
To a place of rest
To lay my weary head on your breast
Myself in a trance of divine
Like a drunkard, filled with sweet wine
None would dare take that moment, not even death
No, he wouldn't dare to take your breath
As the stars within, a wonder the day old night
For me, such a wonderful delight
For we were together then
As I ask, when could it happen again?
