A Kiss Might Not Be Love

A kiss might not be love

And yet here we are.

What does this mean?

An exchange,

A promise?

How is it that

One so easily falls

For suggestive eyes,

Inviting minds?

Is it solace that is desired?

Or the allure of the flesh?

Opening your heart

Breaking lips

A caress;

The promise of a better world.

But a kiss

No matter how deep

How lush

How searching, 

Earnest,

Needy.

A kiss

Might not be love

No matter how much

Your heart desires it to be.
