Kiss
A kiss that lasts ten seconds
Kiss them goodbye
Never to applaud
Torment or ridicule
Taste the palate
Half blinded by the ecstasy
Feel the sensation
Spontaneous thrill
What are you thinking now?
Too late?
Each second more precious
Ah, the rapture lingers on
Time is my nemesis
Encapsulate and use it wisely
Because a kiss passes us by
Never to return
