If Kisses Were Cures

Have you ever wondered, what if love was enough?
What if kisses were cures to all the aches and pains?
The soft press of my lips against your skin
To soothe the burns of life. If kisses were cures, the only
Antidote needed would be passion, love flowing from
The gentle impact to your shoulder, shocking your arm like electricity
As I move to your neck, the aches of the world disappear to the
Touch, my touch, touch of love, touch of forever's medicine.
What if hugs were the answer to all problems in life?
A simple embrace to erase the stress dealt to you.
The wrap of my arms around your body, the simple exhale into my
Chest, your way of saying you're perfectly content with how one
Warm caress can solve the puzzle of your existence. If every
Clutch untangles another knot in your being, I will hold you internally
For eternity, intentionally conventional in every squeeze of our love.
What if love could be the beginning and the end?
If one emotion can conquer the world, the superhero to save you
From every car crash in life, the one behind the mask in
Your intricate cinema, to save you from every peril you face,
Just when you're about to give up, I give a hand, a hug,
A kiss, a few words to let you know that you're future will
Somehow be better than your past, not because I'm in it,
But because I'm never leaving. When love becomes set in stone,
Neither life nor a simple fight can remove it.
With love, we can bring the end to the war raining on us by a simple
Holding of hands, love is the song for us two to dance, we can
Only go so far alone, but together, we can defeat life.
With love, anything and everything is possible.
If only kisses were cures.
