If A Kiss… If a kiss was all you could give, would that be enough for me? If a kiss was all that I could have, could I accept that for eternity? If a kiss was all the love that you could share, would I be strong enough to leave it there? If a kiss was nothing but a kiss. I’d have to walk away; if a kiss was all the love you had I’d hold my breathe, absorb it’s touch, never breathe again, depart this life, before I’d tell my heart that’s all there’d ever be. w. jamesbeard, jr. © january 2001 [This message has been edited by jwesley (01-07-2002 10:36 PM).] |

Such a sweet poem! Soo touching, and yes a kiss is supposed to be worth more than a kiss. It is supposed to signify love and compassion for each other. Wise words here. I love this James, good work Randy Meador a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living. |

jwesley...Great poem about the strength and power of a kiss. An age old question? If a kiss was all that would ever be would that be enough? For some it might; but for others there might always be the questions: Shouldn't there be more? Could there have been more? Glad to be enjoying your work again, dear friend, James Wesley. ***Ivy Rose |

*sigh* oh my gosh.....this is so very romantic. I love it.....*sigh* would a single kiss ever be enough from the one you desire? **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

You did a wonderful job of taking a kiss and turning it into what it should be...not just a physical touch, but a mentality as well. I liked this poem very much. Kudos, +| ... Ocelot ... |+ |

jwesley, this is really a rather sweet, yet sad poem. I had to wonder what IF love lasted only as long as a kiss. Would you be happy that you had experienced it before? Or would you be sad to have lost it? _,,,^.^,,,_ |
