Inspired by Catullus Carminae 5 & 7 Whenever we kiss, O sweet Julie, I think that I could never get enough of your kisses. Whenever our lips touch, I am transported to another place where there are no worries, no problems, and no troubles. I can never get enough of your kisses. Your tender lips could meet mine for every leaf in a rain forest, You could press your mouth to mine for every ray of light that shines down on our love, and it would not be enough. So kiss me. Kiss me whenever I am near. Kiss me if you should you see a star in the sky. Kiss me every time your heart beats. Just kiss me. "There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature." |

Catullus was a Roman Poet. His poems are numbed instead of titled. Carmina 5 would be poem number 5, etc. You can find some of them here: http://www.poetryproject.com/images/_Poets/September/Catullus.pdf or you can go to http://www.perseus.tufts.edu to find him and others "There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature." |
