your lips are a
night moon
and mine, the sea.
gravity
pulls me
routinely toward you
creating
powerful undercurrents
sands shift
landscapes alter
then
calm
smooth as sea glass
until the next
kiss
after wave-crashing
kiss

Loved how you'd set up the analogy in this (subtly exhilarating) way. I could imagine the heady aftermath. Cheers. ^_^

Wow. The pull between the moon and the tides is the essence of the draw of kisses. This is my first visit, but I'll be back for much more.
Thank you.

Lovely, especially the opening:
your lips are a
night moon
and mine, the sea

Absolutely brilliant poem, Susan. And the photograph's not bad either. This is one to be savoured - like kisses. :)

Wonderful poem that begs to be read again and again.

Wow...and wow again. These words just keep pulling me to read and re-read them...they do create "powerful undercurrents."
Mighty fine poem, my friend :)
