It was written to be read out loud
The Kiss
It stays with me,
It stays with me,
the night we escaped
crowds and noise
that wouldn't leave
crowds and noise
that wouldn't leave
us
finally alone after
years of glances,
years of glances,
you felt it too
a perceptive yen
a perceptive yen
we
pretended we didn't
and knowing we shouldn't
you said you dreamt it
and knowing we shouldn't
you said you dreamt it
on a night like this
me
riding in your car,
you smiled without
meeting my eyes,
deeply aware of
meeting my eyes,
deeply aware of
me with you,
stealing away
high above the city
to a hidden place
a dream catcher find
us
in rooftop tryst
the night’s embrace
like a quiet blanket
only the foghorn knew
our presence
for only this occasion,
one pivotal point
a chance to be
and so you kissed
a chance to be
and so you kissed
me
decades beyond it
fateful and true
the foghorn reminds
of rooftops and
you
