I Must Confess

I could lie

by saying that the wine had gone to my head

that I was somehow

inculpable

innocent

incognizant

of my actions

As I said

those claims would all be lies - on the grandest scale

for I knew, yet cared not about the consequences

with full knowledge

I leant toward you

to embrace

as friends so often do
I must confess
that I longed for so much more

You kissed me

fully … most fully

kissed me

with warmth

passion

the desire

 … so surprising

most unexpected

my soul

my life’s essence

soared

circling the cosmos

past heaven

to boomerang homeward

my eternity
past - present - future
melded

distilled

perfected

into that very instant

was paradise found

rapture was born

that night

rapture

on the grandest scale
