A Breath Away

By V. Bhuvana Prabha

As I pull you close for a kiss,

I feel your touch, the one I miss.

I turn away out of shyness,

And blood rushes to my face as I realize the closeness.

Your hands grip my neck, so tight,

A smirk on your lips... fingers tracing mine,

You place your soft lips on my cheeks, my neck, my nose, my eyes,

The moment I felt your lips, my stomach swirled with butterflies.

Your hands swept over my thighs, pressing hard,

In the warmth of your touch, I let down my guard.

The intimacy of your touch made me all yours,

And in your embrace, I felt safe, secure.

At last, you bring your lips close to mine,

I can feel them,

I can feel your warm breath on my cheek,

How close can you get without kissing me?

My heart pounds as a million thoughts arise,

Your hands move to all the right places,

You push me to the edge of wanting more,

And with a little hesitation,

I pulled you close, took you in,

Which took my breath away.

Just a touch of your sweet lips made my heart melt,

Feeding the craving that had lived for years.

Quietly, I felt the heat,

And in your kiss, I was left completely quenched.

We stared into each other's eyes,

What felt like endless time,

I melted from my core,

Lost in your softness.

After that, all I wanted was to hold you, kiss you, feel you near,

A kiss on my neck, like the wind’s gentle caress,

If you ever leave my side, I'll be unpinned,

If this was my last breath... I’d rather kiss you.
