A surprise silent kiss is to be cherished. – by poet., It was evidently inescapable. Certainly I did not expect it at the time. The railway station was over crowded I was patiently waiting for my sister to arrive. She was supposed to wear a purple dress. So when I saw the dress I assumed My sister had finally arrived. I hurried And gave her one big hug and a silent kiss. Where upon the stranger turned and uttered a yell. She was not my sister and I had grabbed someone else. For a moment no one dared to breathe or move. I looked at her beautiful face, finely chiseled, "Well, well, well," she said. "You owe me big, a dinner tonight." I smiled. We agreed on an Italian diner. We ordered oysters, followed by a grilled swordfish. And a tiramisu, laced with a famous Barolo. It was incredible how we became so fine friends. We agreed on meeting again. As we came to part I took her in my arms and it was a long silent kiss. Placed 1
