Lips.
He is looking for the lips.
The soft, affectionate lips that will
part tenderly and give
the kiss.
The kiss.
She is looking for the kiss.
The warm, adoring kiss
The kiss that will cling and invite
the encircling of arms
Oooooo, the arms
Strong but gentle arms
that will wrap warmly around
lonely bodies and keep at bay
the lonesome, unfulfilled years
They are looking for love.
Not for each other
Not really for a corporeal person
But for the intangible, elusive spirit
man has named love
He will not wither if they do not meet.
She will not depart this life early if she never sees him.
He doesn't’t see her face in his dreams.
But together they feel….feel
the need for love
Love
is
what they
are
in love
with.
Author notes
I know this will not make anyone fall in love with love. It makes an effort to explain the journey.

I love teh last vers. Love is what they are in love with. Such love can be truly felt in just a kiss or soft caress for love is felt within ones heart just lije true beuaty comes from the soul. This deserves more than 5 stars.

“But together they feel….feel
the need for love”
If only it were not true. Then again, I guess people have gotten together for worse reasons. And feeling is much better than not feeling. Not feeling is like ‘dead’. Not bad. MAYBE deep.
