Lying amongst many kisses
..away from shrugs
and near misses
..away from pretence
or common sense
..is a meeting of lips
to end all kisses
A kiss that roars
and mutes all known sound
yet ignites a spark
and fires a flame
soul-ward bound

“soul-ward bound”
YES. Love the double meaning in “bound” here…bound together, and bound for greatness, somewhere beyond. Beautiful.

I love that roaring kiss, Viv! I imagine it sounds like our log burner when it’s got going – fiery and heartwarming.

“a meeting of lips/to end all kisses” is quite something. Love the juxtaposition of “roars” and “mutes”.
