A kiss, a kiss, the mighty power
The lure that draws the bee to flower
The potent undertows of force
The waters of a river’s source

A kiss, a kiss, the cooing dove  
A flush of truth, a flow of love
A thread that pulls the passion string
And softly deals a numbing sting

Like sunset skies in orange hues
The glory of a kiss imbues
The skin, the heart, the soul, the face
All dreams and flesh in its embrace

The evening skies we praise as such
So far removed from earthly touch
Are sunsets pail in loveliness
Beside the beauty of a kiss

A kiss, a kiss, a soft caress
A touch of velvet tenderness
Of lips on lips innately drawn
Like petals touching in the dawn

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Such perfection in a poem....it's beautiful, Liz


"pail" a small error?
