When You Dont At All Kiss

What we badly miss
When we don’t at all kiss
We can’t neatly guess,
Until denied spouses audibly hiss
And to their partners simple request deny their “Yes”…
Until even the shadows vanish
Of true marital bliss
And a couple’ true-to-form, a mere varnish:
Until on your most priceless treasure
Your hurt partner begins to piss
And only at his or her leisure
Omits to do this…

What you could oddly suffer
When you sparingly kiss
Should never be on offer,
As sometimes it does shatter peace,
Never thinking it should doing so cease.
