Grant me permission to touch you in ways
that’ll tell stories about how I miss you
re-living the imagery of your presence
as you occupy my mind when I kiss you
Answer me now as I wait with baited breath…
Can I kiss you?
And paint pictures with my tongue
depicting lust enslaved by love
unshackling desire as we touch
pulling you closer, holding you tighter
‘til our hearts beat as one
Can I kiss you?
Will the taste of your lips
set me free from this insomniac sleep?
Hoping the asylum that I seek
borders lie beyond your sheets
Beyond the eternal sensations of each caress, 
the ecstasy, the obsession when I’m with you
Can I kiss you?
