The Kiss Remains

Standing alone I sway
Until she catches me in her arms
She is warmth and love
And she is longing and desire
I turn my face to her
And she catches my lips into hers
She is the match that carries a glowing fire
The solitary drink to quench my thirst
And at long last she relieves me
For just one minute she is mine
The woman I have longed to hold
Now holding me back
I am completely taken from myself
And thrust into this euphoria of her presence
Then I wake
My heart is weakened
And my senses still numb
Yet still I smile
Because although the dream has disappeared
The kiss remains
