How does
a kiss stop being just a touch of lips
polite in greeting, but emotionally fleeting?
Where do
the contents of two souls
start to slowly collect and then spontaneously connect?
Why now
in this new friendship
still learning ours feats and flaws, something gives pause?
What has
shifted in our core
and lay bare that which now has us both hopeful yet scared?
Who are
we to question
the stars and the moon that such an epiphany could happen so soon?
When does
a kiss stop
being just a kiss, turning some magic corner and becomes this?

Whew, bring me a fan! This is a hot one in the best sense. Yes, indeed, when does the kiss become something more……..?
Only the kissers know for sure. Thanks Mary.
First of all.. the way you write the poem in the form of questions is genial.. secondly the subject of describing how that kiss going from the touch of lips to fireworks and magic… this seems like the ultimate question of magic.
Thank you Björn. When one collects enough of them from just the right person, in spite of the song, we must remember this, sometimes a kiss is more than just a kiss.
Whoa!! This is one hell of a sensuous poem 😀 with the ever eternal question.. when does a kiss stop being just a kiss? Love this!!
As I said to Mary, only the ones kissing know 😀 Thanks Sanaa.
I like the question format specially the 4th and 5th one ~ Thanks for participating with our OLN ~
Sometimes it is written in the stars. Thanks Grace,
This is my favorite part:
“Where do
the contents of two souls
start to slowly collect”
Thanks S!
While we are just in lust, a kiss morphs into molten passion, like fanning an open flame with raw gas. While later, when we are just in love, it does take several more flicks to make a small flame; such is the human apparatus where the mental imagery gets off-center, & behaves like wet wood, or cricket lighters with lower fluid levels.
“& behaves like wet wood, or cricket lighters with lower fluid levels.” It’s a sad statement of affairs of some lovers, but oh that made me laugh out loud. Thank you Glenn.
I do like the question format of this. When does the kiss go from just being the touch of the lips and becomes the universe exploding? Just have to keep touching those lips to find out. Excellent write.
“Just have to keep touching those lips to find out”
Oh the work of all that is going to be just exhausting! LOL 😀 Thanks Kanzensakura.
Yeah, it’s a hard job but somebody has to do it.
Only another kiss can answer that last question.. if such a question does indeed have an answer!
Oh there is always an answer. n the course of osculatation the buss on the cheek morphs into the peck on the lips. Now when that morhps into the extended french version there might have been a corner turned somewhere – lol. Thanks Thotpurge.
Funny how people hold back
from truly connecting
in human
social
bonding
oxytocin
way.. clear
to see among
Bonobos kissing
in the forest..
most humans
are too
scared
to live
fully
bonding
connecting
like this but
sadly all
they have
to lose is gain..
by not just letting
it ALL go as Love.. without
thinking about it too much..
Love is never saying
one is sorry
for
LOVE
and
never
feeling
guilty
for
being
human..
The world needs
THAT connection
and i for
one
exercise
IT like a frigging
Olympic sport NOW
to train a muscle STRONG
of Love NAMED HEART..now
IN KIND AND COURAGE2..:)
Thank you, katiemiafrederick.
Such is the magic of love…
Anna :o]
Indeed, Anna! Thanks!
Casual kis-sing is just a fling…how can this grow to wedded bliss? You ask good questions on the mystery of love!
Now if it were easy to learn the answers, huh? Thanks Lynn.
I love your Questions So many kinds of kisses…
Yes, Vivinfrance, so many, many kinds. Thank you.
A timeless question… And I love how the format you used leaves the answer open, just as it always is.
Thanks Kelly. For is there truly an answer for anyone except the kissers involved?
