forgive me for the parts of you i'm yet to kiss

i used to think there was only one part of

the body meant for kisses,

but on your body I discovered a thousand places.

you were born naked so I could clothe you with kisses,

my lips were made to adorn every inch of

the landscape of your skin.

kisses on places you'll never want your mother

to read about,

sinful actions too holy for confession.

and when we finally merge into one

my body memorizing every part of yours

i discover there are ways to visit heaven without dying.
