Built upon a Kiss

I've remembered kingdoms, studying their tears and tongues like a Renaissance man, mathematics and linguistics alike-- and I discovered a palace Built upon a Kiss

---

Along the sunshine streets

      eternal roses

Parting-is-sweet-sorrow hugs

      and

      songs of romance sang

lovers cannot feel the winter cold

Amongst

Throbbing and thrusting of skin on skin

Piano fingers from lip to hip

Anticipation of gentle bits

      Breath on neck

Wishing not upon a star,

but the bellybutton of Venus

Singing half forgotten tunes,

We held and kissed the moon.
