A Soul’s Kiss

During the first conversation
when time seemed to stand still
two souls meet each other
for the first time

They bow and curtsy
Then walk hand in arm
as they promenade
to the dance floor

They are like old friends
One in the same
The passage of time
means nothing to them

They spin and laugh
swing, dip, and cry
A moment outside of time 
has arrived

A stroke, an embrace
A kiss, A knowing
At peace amongst
the quandary of time’s sewing

Eyes linger with sight like no other
Hearts flutter & breaths intertwine
A moments rush of energy
That bathes us in eternity

Caught off guard
the mind takes control
the body still senses though
the other’s soul-shadow

It was a soul’s kiss
An unmistakable bliss
A moment of rare delight
In that first night

A mystery of a kiss
An embrace
A wave good bye
And very old and a very new
Hello
