A thousand kisses
I have kept for you,
held them with pleasure
except for just two.
The first one is chaste,
in public, you see.
Not the way I want
our first kiss to be.
The last is a kiss,
oh so bitter sweet.
A kiss of goodbye
till again we meet.
But those in between,
those kisses we’ll share,
kisses of passion,
are ones I can spare.

Take me back to Erin's shores,
to where my heart roams free.

Hey, shameless doesn't mean insincere.
I'm a sincere flirt, because its hard not to have a smile on your face with all the sweet poets here. So I flirt therefore I Am.....

Salutations.  Grab a keyboard and type at the screen for a while -- we're eager for more.  I like the unique angle of the two special kisses -- refreshingly different.
