Kiss Me Softly
by Ken HarnischKiss me softly, for I have not been kissed
In eons.
I have forgotten the taste of lips on mine
Or the feel of an embrace for something
Other than hello.
I may be hungry in the aftermath.
If you are not prepared for me to cling
You had better not come closer.
But if you do, my darling,
I will feed the fire and the flame
Showing I remember how to strike the match
And toss kindling on a burning heart 05/24/2003 Posted on 05/24/2003

Peace... |
