A Kiss That Never Was

There was something magical about your face;
something I could never explain;
the warmth of your lips that I sought to embrace;
and nothing of the past could remain.

It wasn’t about your shape or appearance;
for, sheer energy had taken control;
and logic was unable to add interference;
for this was the synergy of the soul.

I knew in an instant, that it never would be;
even though you felt it all too;
circumstance had displaced all reality;
though my energy felt inside you.

Somehow I knew we had met long ago;
at another time; in another place;
I knew if we touched; I’d never let go;
and our love would lead to disgrace.

And yet, perhaps it was all in my mind;
you likely didn’t even know;
perhaps you’d have been shocked to find;
that I’d thought of a kiss to bestow.

Perhaps it all was just a one sided lust;
a sense of distance providing protection;
and governed more by fear, than trust;
allowing, I avoid embarrassing rejection.

Nevertheless, the energy was all real;
in my mind, all thoughts played a role;
and I had experienced the joy and feel;
as my heart had kissed your soul.
