Seeing Leaves

By Malice In Wonderland

I kissed a girl
once
ran my tongue
tenatively across her cupids bow mouth

sliding my hands through 
the silken fall of her hair
stricken in awe
by the shock of her skin
electric with curiosity.

 and I stood on tiptoe
with her curve of her chin in my hands
shading the light 
we'd captured
like fireflies in the dark
