Chocolate Cerebral Kisses

I don't feel your kisses in my lips;
I feel them somewhere deep in my cerebellum
or my finger tips or my toes.
Sometimes I don't feel them until tomorrow
when they catch up and surprise me.
They make me miss you and wish you were back
in bed with me---even when I'm already out of bed.
Sometimes, like when you've been eating chocolate,
I sense your kisses in my nose, tingling.
These kisses like to go play with the ones already in
my brain. They have coffee and talk about how lucky
I am and make all my other thoughts jealous
and my eyes sparkle.
