We Kissed

Star like lights

Around us, 

Shimmering in dark.

Dim, dense, dusky

Sky above us,

With bangs of thunder

And wrenched lightening,

Hot white,

Once has forked

No going back then.

It was time,

I felt it,

I knew it.

My eyes on him,

His on me,

We both

Catching breath.

I was watching,

Tired of waiting,

To feel his lips

Against mine.

And, at long last

I felt like,

A secret told,

A promise kept.

The shower of all my days,

And that silvery rain

Falling around us.

As hot white lightening

Touched the earth.

Fervently and gently

We kissed.
