THE ABANDONED KISS

Ancient lovers believed a kiss would literally unite their souls, because the spirit was said to be carried in one's breath. ~Eve Glicksman
The Abandoned Kiss

      Yes--
I am lingering
on your lips, as we
parted steps,
the tingle of wind’s hope,
the silkiness of touch,
the gray saltiness
of the ocean’s air
slipping away from
my fingertips,
a bittersweet wisp
of a hair across
your clean face,
as you turn from
our abandoned kiss,
a kiss transmuting
history,
a kiss delineating
a fiery path,
a kiss caught
between our
ancient hearts.

T.J.G
