Loving your lip-clapping stories...

...

here... my 'second' first kiss...

...

2005 – The Lover’s Book of Genesis, 2nd Night

...

I sweep over her –

our lips colliding like storm fronts

bristling with electricity.

This first tiny clap of lips

thunders through my flesh.

Beneath me

I feel her body

trace out the path of a lightning bolt

in

ex-

-cru-

-ci-

-a-

-ting

slow

mo-

-ti-

on.

Her cheeks glow

with St Elmo’s fire.

I pull back –

see in her face

the wet, muted stillness

that only ever follows

a sudden summer storm.
