Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Kiss-S-S-S

Why is a kiss such a passionate thing
That smolders from deep down inside
The tenderness of two moist warm lips
Trigger emotions too intense to hide

For centuries, it's been a symbol of love
Throughout just about all of mankind
The fiery intensity, the closeness of souls
Invite lovers to explore, to find

Blood pressure rises, we quiver and shake
Words to describe it don't exist
A euphoric overwhelming passion happens
Raising senses to a feverish pitch

Culminating in the ancient act of love
Another indescribable sensation
The explosion of two bodies uniting as one
In a twisting, spiralling gyration

Carol Eastman October 22, 2012 at 9:45 AM Was this after you gave her the roses? Shame are you... kissing and telling... LOL Hot, steamy, and a wonderful write... At this pace you'll have to give her a book of poems and lay it at her feet... Just for her... But with so many writes you'll only be able to lay 1 red rose on top of it... I'm sure she'll get the message if this poem is on top of the book and under the rose... Can't wait to read tomorrows... Carol Eastman October 22, 2012 at 6:28 PM Oh Jack. Jack. Jack. Jack. Jack... You're not suposed to read them to her... You're supposed to give them to her.... Shame on you. Men and romance... Ask Cathy to explain.... Love you guys... LOL Jack Ellison October 22, 2012 at 10:26 AM You slay me, Carol!!! Hope you don't mind but I read all your delightful comments to my dear dear Cathie. Of course I have to skip some of the steamy parts where you invite me down to PA to view your etchings! LOL Love and hugs, Jacko
