First Line: Whenmy hot lips are pressed against your own
Last Line: We sprang together from one kingly stem.
Subject(s): Kisses
When my hot lips are pressed against your own
I live within your being's core of breath
And then your body's clasping I undo
Still burning toward you loosen your embrace
And with bowed head I move away from you:
I go divining in your flesh my own—
In that dread silence which no mind can plumb
We sprang together from one kingly stem.
