One Kiss

joseph mcqueen 1953 (Illinois)

One kiss, awakening
 Feelings no longer to be hidden
 Warmth starts deep in the center
 Love that was meant to be given
 
One kiss, illumination
 A light that comes from within
 Vision pierces the blackness
 A darkness that will not come again
 
One kiss, anticipation
 Life is more than a scripted play
 The joy of new dawn awaits
 Excitement of an unknown day
 
One Kiss, Tranquility
 Serenity supplants a restless soul
 Hearts in synchronization
 Spirits at last become whole
 
One Kiss, Revelation
 Love is now what it always should be
 The essence of two is now one
 Us has replaced the singular me
 
One Kiss, Realization
 A paradise of spiritual bliss
 I have found a place in your arms
 My life began with One Kiss
