Kiss

Oft I’ve heard

people describing

different kisses

kisses that brings grief

while some as soft as the roses

but the kiss that fascinates me

is the kiss after which the body doses

doses off to a sleep

a sleep of eternity

the last kiss

kiss of death

a goodbye kiss from life.

whatever it be

it is something which can’t be seen

something felt

felt by the one being kissed

isn’t it weird

that the first moist kiss

and the last lovely kiss

are both that we can’t describe

But people talk of kisses

all the rest,

the second best.
