In that unspoken moment
Before two pairs of lips kiss
Eyes sweep and hearts leap
For that pulse-pounding bliss.
Yes, the seconds previous to
Lovers' mutual romance
Palms moisten and spines quiver
For the tongues' heated dance.
Nothing is quite as perfect
As the heavenly expectant pause
Before two mouths join together
And in satisfied revel, withdraw.
