Kiss Me
Like stardust fallen somehow
Upon the softness of your lash
A glint in eye below raised brow
My hunger so unabashed
Red crescent lips bid me nigh
Your words whisper like the breeze
And deep within your gazing eye
My heart swings the high trapeze
The smile there below raven hair
A small distance to succulent bliss
Creates the longing in the air
My need of your ravenous kiss
It’s so coy, the façade you employ
As you feign what may happen next
You worked hard and had great joy
In having me so smitten and vexed
So now, for you, I am playing my role
I have leaned in only inches away
Close the distance, commune our souls
Finish this game you play
Kiss me hard, inhibitions set free
Let me be your unrepentant sin
Shed any costume of chastity
I am in love with the devil within

Thank you!
Another beautiful poem to the sweetness of love and to the kiss. Great writing and great images you have crafted so precisely and perfectly. Good job Brad! Hoping you have a great and lovely Thursday! Stay safe and all the best,
Francisco
Thank you , my friend. Who doesn’t love a good kiss? Have a great and happiness filled day!
Absolutely! You too my friend!
This is a devil may care poem .. a kick ass verse but softly spoken .. love it. Bravo , Brad.
Thank you, dear Yasmin! Your kind words always uplift me and encourage my pen! Sending you love! 💕😊❤
You are very welcome, Brad.
Ah, the kiss!
💋 Thanks Beth!
Wow! This is better than anything I could have imagined. My heart is racing! So many emotions, love, compassion, burning desire. 😍😍 Beautifully and masterfully penned. My Kevin is quite the poet, there’s no way Jessica could resist. 💋💋💋
Kevin is a panty dropper, for sure! It is sad that his confidence hides behind his pen. But, if anyone can free him, it would be Jessica, and her vivacious, vixen ways. Thanks for the love! 💋😘💋😘❤
No, thank you! I’ve only ever inspired one other person (to my knowledge,) to write a poem. It wasn’t filled with such emotion though. You took something between fictional characters and made them real. You’ve got me rooting for my own characters to make it, and it’s an amazing feeling. I am deeply touched and overwhelming honored, Brad. I had to read it twice. That last line “I am in love with the devil within” hit home. If Jessica had “accidentally” found this, she would have found Kevin and ravished him. She wouldn’t want to admit it, but she would be putty in his hands. Always! 💋❤💋❤😘
That’s supposed to say overwhelmingly honored.
Funny thing is that “overwhelming’ works if you put the period after it. “I am deeply touched and overwhelming.” 😂🤣😁🤣😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂 True. One would think I would learn to not leave a comment until after I’ve had my morning coffee. I’m not very alert before it. 🤦♀️
Awww…commenting before you have had your coffee. How freaking sweet is that? 😘 (heart squeezes)
I couldn’t wait. I literally got up, grabbed my phone, and read your poem. I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Of course, the poem itself woke me up. I have no excuses. Lol. 😘
That warms my heart! 💋
Happy to give you warm heart squeezes! 💋🤗
My perception of Jessica was that despite her very controlled and chaste appearance and demeanor, there is an uninhibited, vivacious, and insatiable woman just beneath the skin. She knows that part of herself and it scares her to let it out. Kevin wants her to feel safe enough to set her free, much to his benefit in the end. I am glad it has given something back to you from the story you so thoughtfully shared. Mad love! ❤💕🥰😘
You hit the nail on the head. Now I’m the one who feels transparent. Much love! ❤🥰😘💞
Transparent and fluffy! 🔍🦄
majestic 😍

Thank you, Sangita!
a modern-day Cyrano! well done, Brad…
Thanks, Jim!
You nailed this one, Brad! Who can forget that feeling of longing?
Thank you, Pete!
WOW Brad. This is so beautiful and passionate. The metaphors used to describe her are so sensual. The finale is glorious:
“Kiss me hard, inhibitions set free
Let me be your unrepentant sin”
I am in awe my dear friend. You are a great poet.
Have a lovely and passionate evening.
And Brad thank you for leaving a comment on my poem with Spillwords. Believed it or not I did not know that you could leave a comment. You are a darling.
Thank you, my dear friend, Gabriela! You know what your words mean to me, as I have grown to appreciate and love your artistry. Happy to leave a comment.
