A Kiss

The most beautiful of kisses
Is the one that stands alone
The one that is not part of
Any other intimate act



So much is communicated
In that intimate moment
When lips touch
eyes close
Nothing exists
There is just a kiss

It is not a contract
between the giver and receiver

It does not commit
Each other to a life time together

It is just a kiss

A kiss can save a person's life
Replacing barrenness
Overwhelming emptiness
With tenderness
Just at the right moment

A kiss can relate more than love
So full of passion
But not always passionate
Rising above
Concepts of sexuality

How many dream
For that type of kiss

Just a kiss.... just one!

Nothing is lost in its giving
A beautiful memory is added
An empty place is filled



The most beautiful of kisses
Is the one that stands alone
The one that is not part of
Any other intimate act

Author notes

Still a work in progress with some help from Klassy Lassy!! Suggestions and comments appreciated.

I want to relate that intimate act of kissing is not necessarily a sexual thing, but is much much more than that. The youtube link is out of The Color Purple where Shug and Cellie kiss, however to me, that scene was never about sexuality but about Shug giving Cellie something she so desperately needed through a kiss. It is an AMAZINGLY powerful scene and the acting is awesome.

In a list

    Liked the variety you use here, as you say in your AN a kiss can mean so many different things. My only minor nitpick would be the lack of punctuation and use of continuous capitalization. If you're using enjambement you need some element of punctuation to clarify meaning and not so many lines starting with capitals. Just a suggestion but you may find it'll smooth the flow a little. Be interesting to see where you take this. Nice write and many thanks for sharing.

    So far i actually i liked this and what you have.
    Because what you have written is so true.
    The line "A kiss can relate more than love"
    Means alot to me because we give kisses out to everyone
    whether it be friendly or sexually or lovingly.
    A kiss is just a kiss.
    And i like how you have expressed that here.
    Good job.
    And continue to work on your progress here.
    You have a wonderful start.

      Thanks Mandi, kissing 'lovingly' not 'sexually' is what I am trying to get across. I can't believe I didn't think of using that word in my poem. I'll be adding another verse I think, using the word 'lovingly'
      THANKS!!
