Takes Two to Make a Kiss

Takes two to love and two to make a kiss
Takes two to feel the warmth of passion's bliss

Takes two to look into each other's eyes
And sing to one another lullabies

Takes two to know the meaning of romance
And two to swing into a ballroom dance

Takes two to stand together face to face
And two to share a passionate embrace

Takes two to walk together hand in hand
Into the splendor of love's wonderland

Takes God to bless the union of the two
And only God knows how I'm missing you

So come to me and fill this deep abyss
And two as one will share a tender kiss

Thanks PDV, as I read over it, it turns out to be in iambic pentameter. I'm going to be dreaming in sonnets!
Thank you

Two kisses for you Liz, XX, loved the poem.

 In the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.

It took two poets to rise to this occasion.
DeVine and Santos earn my admiration.

Liz,
One and one does not make two.
Two is really one in true.
Beautiful poem. *L* Sy

Simply beautiful Liz....and I would have made my 'beautiful' just as big as Caroline's....but I haven't a clue as to how to do that

 A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire!

Thank you all very much. Pepper, I can't help you and can't for the life of me figure out how they make the first letter bold in a acrostic.
