Poetry Kisses

It's in the way that my fingers kiss my pen,
the way my pen kisses the paper,
and the way my emotions kiss the words.

It's in the way that poetry kisses my past
and understands the pain my heart expresses.

It's in the way that every metaphor
kisses the truth that I can't say.

It's in the way it kisses me back with sweet release,
which makes me dependant on these poetic kisses
to help me survive through every day.
