A Kiss

This is the best description of a kiss I've read so far. It came from a poem entitled: Said the Shotgun to the  Head, written  by Saul Williams, American poet, singer and actor.

"Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss?

 I mean pure psychedelic inebriation.

 Not just lustful petting 

but transcendental metamorphosis

 when you became aware 

that the greatness of this being

 was breathing into you.

 Licking the sides and corners 

of your mouth,

 like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes

 filled with the essence 

of your passionate being 

and then opened 

by the same mouth 

and delivered back to you, 

over and over again - the first kiss 

of the rest of your life. 

A kiss that confirms 

that the universe is aligned, 

that the world's greatest resource is love, 

and maybe even that 

God is a woman. 

With or without a belief in God, 

all kisses are metaphors 

decipherable by allocations of time, 

circumstance, and understanding."
