THE KISS I never knew how powerful A river’s flowing stream I never knew that so much love Was captured in a dream My heart was not prepared to find The sweetest edge of bliss The greatest of life’s wondrous gift’s Sat poised upon a kiss Nor could I well imagine How succulent the wine I never knew of love’s desires Until your lips met mine Our spirits came together With a kiss’s tender touch Our lips expressed the words That I desired to say so much And now the door has been unlocked For love to wonder through This kiss has opened up The secrets of my heart to you May love now spread it’s timid wings And soar up through the mist A lifelong venture humbly born In the power of a kiss Elizabeth Santos |

L~ Suggest you retitle this "First Kiss", now line 1 has a typo (correct it)quickly Line 5 has a misspelled word -surprised you missed it! Line 8 has a word that seems out of place. Line 10 doesn't rhyme at all. Perhaps use a better word instead? Oh, and april fools to you! best regards, bboog [This message has been edited by bboog (edited 04-01-2000).] |

Roniece Thank you for such lovely comments. I appreciate your reading and am glad you liked the poem Lucky, Yep! But it depends on who's doing the kissing I got bbooged again! With my sloppy poet pen It seems he wants perfection And relishes correction But I don't get unglued Whenever I'm bbooged I just say thank you dear And make it very clear There is certainly no mystique On Open six we don't critique I think he knows the rules And now pulls an April Fools And so on his behalf I say thank you for the laugh I don't mean to boost his ego But he is my true amigo Gracias y buenas noches Liz |

Hmm.. How did I miss this one? This is fantastic~ Wish I had someone to share a kiss with right now! Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |
