One Moment

One Moment


It is your shimmering lips
I crave tonight—
glossy, pouting
beckoning a taste
just once,
in the dark
beneath the street light
holding on gently
giving your heart
to this stranger as
your scent of sweet coconut
wraps around your skin
testing me
to be honest somehow
as I follow your body
with hands of faith
touching your soul
for just a moment
with my words.
