Kisses

One kiss more, Sweet!
Soft as voluptuous wind of the west,
Or silkenest surge of thy balmy breast,
Ripe lips all ruddily melting apart,
Drink up the honey and wine of my heart!
On all the bounds of my being let Bliss
Break with its dear drowning sea —
In a Kiss!

One kiss more, Sweet!
Warm as a morning sunbeam's dewy gold
Slips in a red Rose's fragrantest fold,
Sets its green blood all a -blush, burning up
At the fresh feel of life, in its crimson cup!
On all the bounds of my being, let Bliss
Break with its dear drowning sea —
In a Kiss.
