We Never Kissed

We sipped wine to a starling serenade

And dropped clues in our muted masquerade

We best-dressed in veils of cotton and silk

And fine-dined on tales of popcorn and milk

 

We spoke in riddles, but captured the gist

We tasted sweet salt, but we never kissed

 

We marked time to a flickering white flame

And shared space in a lingering love game

We forlorned the loss of an artist king

And flirt-skirted around a fiery ring

 

We spoke in whispers, but welcomed the mist

We tied a frayed knot, but we never kissed
