bisous

“Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss?
I mean pure psychedelic inebriation.
Not just lustful petting but transcendental metamorphosis
when you became aware that the greatness
of this being was breathing into you.
Licking the sides and corners of your mouth,
like sealing a thousand fleshy envelopes
filled with the essence of your passionate being
and then opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you,
over and over again –
the first kiss of the rest of your life.
A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned,
that the world’s greatest resource is love,
and maybe even that God is a woman.
With or without a belief in God,
all kisses are metaphors decipherable
by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding.”
~Saul Williams
