Kiss

A kiss to greet to say hello
A kiss goodbye before you go
A kiss written in a love letter
Though a few more would have been better.

A kiss that's soft and lingering slow
Body felt tingles from top to toe
A kiss to soothe a child's grazed knee
Who plays again or climbs a tree.

A kiss-me-quick novelty seaside hat 
A slobbery kiss from neighbours dog Pat
Under the mistletoe christmas kiss
A new romance between Sue and Chris.

The kiss of life, the kiss of death
I know which one I'd like best
A kiss can mean so very much 
A show of kindness, a soothing touch.

A smile on a face, those beating heart skips
Lets all pucker up and moisten those lips
God gifted us with lips to kiss
Signing off; kiss, kiss, kiss.

A kiss can be for so many different reasons and have such different meanings. I prefer the soft kisses that linger slow and make you tingle head to toe. Enjoyed your thoughts on kissing, Emilia, best of luck in the contest. Hugs (and kisses), John

Thank you very much John. Yes, you're right John at the meanings and reasons, I tried to show some of that in my poem. Hugs, Emilia xx

Incredible! Delightful...if one can read this, and not go about the day puckering, there is a great disconnect between heart and lips. I would like to favorite this, two or three times. You have helped us all kiss our ways into eternity. Blessings!
