The Kiss That Never Was Ver 2

Entwined in a lovers sweat
Passions sated, as a cool breeze 
Brings in the scent of the night
Tongues tasting of wine, fully satisfied

Eternal happiness, could this be?
Or should I run under gloomy tormented skies?
Hand in hand we traveled, across the fields of love
Into historié 

Sur le pont d’Avignon
We danced the night away
Round and round did we go
Our love fell into the Rhone

Devotion seemed a certainty
Love was passions muse
Broken, life fell in the abscess of my demise
All I truly desired, left sur le pont

The battle of Avignon left me defeated

As my memories fade, melancholy recalls to me

The kiss that never was

Meant to last

Clever surprise ending. I'm glad you at least had that last kiss to hold onto. You are a good story teller.

Wonderful and passionate.. Sometime after a little wine our inhibitions are lowered but our senses are heightened. Well done my friend

Beautiful, Arthur. Sometimes love has a way of fading almost imperceptibly....It rarely lasts....You wrote this so well, as always.......
