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.......
