Picture: Gustav Klimt

The Kiss

The feeling shown in just this one kiss
Is a feeling not to be missed?
Look at the tenderness of lips against cheek
Look at the hand. Placed, from under sheet
Look at the expression
So warm, so tender

All this? From just one single kiss
O’ yes and much, much more
For a kiss is the cover of the ultimate gift
A gift called love
Wrapped in a kiss

This is a lovely poem, PeterPeter... It would undoubtedly be nicely enhanced by the picture, but it stands nicely in its own right..
