Kiss Me but Once If you could know the soul within the Sea, That saw the light of life in pastel eyes; Whose heart now lost to one who knows not me, Dare I, but show this love from hidden guise? The day may come that I may brave this dare, and drunkenly may talk in stuttered ways, to fumble at the sight of lips so fair, Oh hope, you do not laugh, of this I pray. A kiss, a kiss is all I want and dream; Tis, but a simple gift to part, my dear. For it would be like soft and supple cream, And not so bad that you may shed a tear. So here I am as brave as fools can be, Kiss me but once, before I run and flee. James Parker Haley © Sep 21, 2000 [This message has been edited by Haleyja (edited 09-22-2000).] |

So hear I am as brave as fools can be, Kiss me but once, before I run and flee. ================ me thinks one kiss wont be enough  I'm thinking multiples are in order here  lolYOU KNOW how I wait with bells on for you to write a sonnet.. and it was worth the wait... perfect flow and rhyme p-man this is a sincere, soft, reflection of your gentle poets heart... lovely verse from you ... later-sweet sonnet-gator *brown eyes smiling* |

Corinne, sweet poet.... she is that elusive creature I see on the street, read on the net, whispers in my dreams.... she could be her over there... the one sitting on the bench in the park. The one that smiled at me in the elevator... but most likely she is you. Parker |
