POEM: KISS

She leaned towards me
(With puckered lips)
and kissed the air
So that my every breath

Could feel and know her love

When she grazed
My drawn oxygen
I could see

Through the best times

When she stepped
Away from me
Her bubbling gaze

Raised a habitable place

Today she returned
Within a hug
And swelled

Tempests until torments subdued
