It was just a kiss.
How was I to know it would drop me
Into madness,
Compulsion,
Fervor?

So simple an act.
Coming together for a slice of time,
Yet I am bound -
A prisoner -
Trapped.

Lives intersected,
The heart’s addition of one plus one
Equaling merely one.
Catalyst of
Rebirth.

My mouth knows hunger
Having tasted of heaven’s banquet,
Unsatisfied
With earthly
Desserts.

A life completed
Is now dependent on another.
It wasn’t Magic.
It was just
A kiss.
