A Kiss

Of all raw passions, kiss alone
Seals lips but opens hearts
So short its distance
Be it of blood or two souls,

To reverence awareness,
Sweetest though unspoken
Understood by any tongue
Whose affection natural as sigh

Tastes like nothing on earth,
Links to states no man thinks,
Itself raises as a moment
In time's memory,

Love so sublime
Whose sound silent
Yet its echo lasts as truth-
A wish turned Godward.
