Poets United holds a weekly poetry prompt
The Thursday Think Tank
This weeks prompt word is
K I S S
I felt you before I saw you
that shiver, that tingle
you reached out
you touched me
sparks ignited
you felt it too
Your eyes darkened
I held your gaze
and returned it
such electricity
flame becomes fire
it seeks expression
intense energy
set in motion
Pulled into your arms
your warm cheek
your hot breath
your kiss

You have defintely brought the moment before the KISS to life!
The build up of anticipation works well in this one, from the first shiver and tingle to the actual kiss.
