The city kisses me

The city kisses me
The way the autumn sunlight kisses my hair
As I cycle through the never-ending streets

The city kisses me
The way each of its corners speaks to my soul
Convincing me to find a corner for myself

The city kisses me
The way the cocktail melts on my lips
Sweet and strong and bitter, slowly, but all at once

The city kisses me
The way I long to be kissed
Sparkling in the night, exploding the silence
Unwinding the body nerves, but entangling the mind
Passion felt, scars marked, memories left behind

The city kisses me
The way you kiss me
And I might come back
For just another kiss in that city

Berlin-Maastricht, 10/2019
