Space

A kiss from a soul
which sings the same
melody
in tune with my own,

one that does not just
mould to my lips,
synchronise with my body,
but harmonises

unspoken understanding,
a shared aura
where our need is one,
the same desire for more

than desire. From this there is
no regression, only comfort
or longing. A shell filled
with one or the other.
