“You know...
as carbon based bipeds go
...you’re
ok! ”
“No! (Ok! Ok!)
more than ok..ok? ”
You smile
at me
(so down to earth)
as if I were
from another planet
then
without warning
you attack me
with kisses
against which
I am powerless.
Defenceless.
You invade
my senses.
I do
the only thing
I can do
(in the circumstances)
surrender
(unconditionally)
to you.
You kiss & kiss
me
(out of this
world)
I close my eyes
see stars
stars
so many
stars.
