Song of Solomon 1:2

If nothing touched but our lips

A kiss would leave an emptiness

Inside my soul

A longing of such depth

Fathoms could not measure it

If blissful dreams are awakened to the hollow sound

Of a heart too distant to be touched yet

Pounding too loud to be ignored

Life would loose its meaning

As the contours of a valley are lost

In the early morning mists

Hidden from sight,

But not from remembrance

But our kiss is so much more

Than a junction of soft flesh. More

Than the intimate dance of lips and tongues

Joining for pleasure

Our kiss is the joining of souls.

It is the melding of two into one

Mouths meet and tongues press eagerly

Over lips, igniting passion for life

As a spark ignites kindling for a fire

The sweet taste of love intoxicating the body

And tuning the desires of the heart

So that they play a resonant harmony

To the melody of the flesh

It is the first step of a journey

Into the heart of my lover and

The last step before our two hearts rest

Together in the sweet slumber

Of fulfillment

It is the threshold of love to come

Over which the adoring groom

Carries his blushing bride

Both confident in the pleasures at hand

And their rights to share them

It is not just the mingling of tongues

It is the mingling of minds

It is the vulnerable opening of us

To each other in order to

Disclose to one another the depth of

Passion and sincerity of love with which

We see our life together

This kiss is the prize

A unique treasure at the end of the rainbow

Of daily life, that signifies

The joining of what was meant to be

Together all along

To my lover I say

"Let him kiss me

With the kisses of his mouth-

For your love is better

Than wine." S.O.S 1:2
