The Kiss Remains

Standing alone I sway
 Until she catches me in her arms
 She is warmth and love
 And she is longing and desire
 I turn my face to her
 And she catches my lips into hers
 She is the match that carries a glowing fire
 The solitary drink to quench my thirst
 And at long last she relieves me
 For just one minute she is mine
 The woman I have longed to hold
 Now holding me back
 I am completely taken from myself
 And thrust into this euphoria of her presence
 Then I wake
 My heart is weakened
 And my senses still numb
 Yet still I smile
 Because although the dream has disappeared
 The kiss remains
