What you do not want another craves ardently what you do not need another is obsessed by Life's ironic tragedies What you don't want, free why prolong the agony if not satisfied Another dies for a taste Another longs for a touch Please make up your mind Love her well or let her be Kiss her lips AND soul superlative love must be or it is not love at all Eileen

I love the song "It's in his kiss". Yes it's important to fully love the one you are with. This poem captures the theme eloquently.

There is so much truth in that song, Richard. Yes, it's a great song. How are you? Hope all is well. I'm getting in the Christmas spirit. I feel my energy returning thanks to the meds. :) Hope to have a great Christmas. Hope the same for you!

Thank you, my dear Nette. Lovely to have your visit. A kiss....all the world for a kiss. There is a song that goes..."If you want to know if he loves you so, it's in his kiss."
