A kiss is when I touch your lips and wrap your heart in mine
And sweep away the clouds that fill the sky
I brush your skin with fingertips and change my blood to wine
Then teach each baby songbird how to fly
A kiss is just the start of bliss a kiss can change the day
And spin the world so nothing is the same
I hold you tight inside my arms to show you how to play
Then find that you have pipped me to my game
A kiss is when you change me from a child into a man
And tell my heart that I belong to you
I feel you take up residence in all the life I plan
Then teach me all the things I have to do
A kiss is just four lips in play and tongues that tickle teeth
And also it's when you are part of me
I grow three feet in height and feel you pass from underneath
Then see the sides of you no-one can see
A kiss is when inside my head we're naked and alone
And all of you belongs inside my mind
I know that when I kiss you all my history has flown
The you inside each kiss is mine to find
A kiss belongs to all the world and just to you and I
And no-one else alive has known this joy
I know that when at last we kiss I'll melt inside your sigh
Then you will be the girl that won this boy

Well done. The flow and ryhme combined to keep me enchanted as you danced through images and thoughts. It is so hard, I think, to write this style of poetry and avoid the awkward phrase the word that feels out of place. This is so nicely orchestrated that I could relax and just let it sing to my heart.
Peace & Light,

This just made me smile. A lovely write. I don't usually go for rhymed poetery much as it tends to be not that well done, but yours uses excellent imagery and clever word choices. The only complaint I have is that your wording is a little awkward in a few places. "I hold you tight in side my arms and show you how to play" It's ok, just seems like too many words. I like the couplet that it's part of, though. All in all, well done. Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest!

I've always been in love with words, lots of little ones make me go "ooooooo" and my poetry often reflects that
