A Tender Kiss The force that rules the pull of ocean tides That rumbles quakes to open an abyss That draws hot molton lava from inside This is the potent power of a kiss The gentle plush of pillow’s downy loft The delicateness of rose’s smooth caress The silken sheen of kitten furry soft This is a kiss’s velvet tenderness A Milky Way of splendor in the skies The draw of little stars on nights like this Alluring words unspoken by your eyes This is the strong attraction of a kiss The radiance of bursting yellow flower The green of woods in quiet peacefulness The blazing golden streaks at sunset hour This is the natural beauty of a kiss The flush of love that wraps the heart in bliss This is the meaning of a tender kiss Elizabeth Santos |

The gentle plush of pillow’s downy loft The delicateness of rose’s smooth caress The silken sheen of kitten furry soft This is a kiss’s velvet tenderness A Milky Way of splendor in the skies The draw of little stars on nights like this Alluring words unspoken by your eyes This is the strong attraction of a kiss The radiance of bursting yellow flower The green of woods in quiet peacefulness The blazing golden streaks at sunset hour This is the natural beauty of a kiss The flush of love that wraps the heart in bliss This is the meaning of a tender kiss =============== my goodness Lizzie... when you kiss someone..they wont soon foget it *smile* .. this is enchanting ... wonderful images *kissed* in your gift rhyme your poets pen ... poetic lips sublime  excellent work... and the gift of inspiration from another poet makes it even better... later sweet-lips-gator *winkiewinkie* jm |

Elizabeth this is a wonderful expression of the power of a kiss. The magic of a kiss that is as impressive as all those metaphors you are using...just a marvelous work of poetry. I like the perspective you put into the lines, very strong, intense and passionate!!! ethome |
