At the top of a long list of things I am missing
Is that glorious pastime referred to as kissing!
Not a smooch on the cheek or a buss on the forehead
But a knock my socks off, drop me straight into his bed
Kind of meeting of lips - a mere soaring of souls
Fusion that completes me, makes me feel whole.
Such a fine occupation, for day or all night
The softest of kisses makes everything right,
Validates my existence, assures me my worth,
Pulls down the stars and makes heaven on earth.

Caress me hello, touch a tender goodbye
Fill me with longing, make me gently sigh
Help me welcome the morning, keep me smiling all day
Place me in your debt - you know I’ll gladly pay!
Make my toes curl, send my heart palpitating
And I’ll find you perfect, always fascinating.
I long to hear stories of how much you miss me
But all that can wait - Come here and kiss me!

Hi ya, Belle - I shoulda known you'd submit a poem about smooching - lol.

I was wondering: Have you ever submitted your poem about your mother and father, how they met, and what happened? I always loved that poem. It was so well written.

Suthern beloved one do you know how special is your writing? Of course you don’t know that your words drift over my soul in a mist of delight. That your writing is excellent I’ve always known, it isn’t until I see it side by side others that I realise just how excellent. I don’t deny others can write and they write well, you however are one of a handful of writers who excel. If I didn’t know and love you I would have voted for this anyway, I don’t vote for it out of loyalty or love I vote because it is quite simply one of the best there is.

Oh and I love you to pieces darling heart, this is simply utterly utterly perfect
