A Kiss

A Kiss

so much more than lips
meet
those composed writings
of wanting
swirl in hot breath
before they meet
and hesitate
to trample the dew
of love in a kiss

a kiss
Juliet asked "what's in a kiss?"

and every presence longing
hangs on its signature
with a secret language
etches its pronunciations 
not in words
but in the soul
its messages imparted

a kiss

transmutations explicit
is a fairy of tongues
and a rogue
of lust
a winged beast
of desire
a god mother
of wishes

a kiss

the parted petal separated
whimpers vocal
in sustenance needed
a survival
of uninterrupted truth
everyone knows
what is revealed and hidden within

a kiss

has its own
kissing language

Colin I love the last sentence. It is a language of it's self. Very romantic and clever. I tried commenting earlier but the sight was having difficulties. I read this earlier and I read your comments. It is Fernando Torres. I didnt know he played for Liverpool wow. He knows his parent's my father Rene Torres and I have other cousins that also play for Spain. I didnt know this until my parents in 1980 went to the Canarly Islands and went to one of there games. El Nino as he is known for his
