My Kiss

 

 

 

The spirit and the flesh are separate,
And yet they will combine to make us whole.
These gifts of mass and energy create
A vehicle for carrying the soul.

Each soul’s born to a purpose pre-ordained,
That’s neither spiritual nor concrete.
For each of us must suffer to attain
A love that makes us balanced and complete.

So diligently we must seek to find
A lover who has interests akin.
To realize with selfless heart and mind
The purposes of love held long within.

I know there is such scope of love as this
To be revealed to you upon my kiss.

    this just makes me want to go out and kiss someone and hope it is love and true love, or just kiss for fun ... but i do truely think it is a beautiful concept in a classic structure

      Oh, that is quite assumptive of you! It is delightfully wrong, but I give you very high marks for imagination and humor.

    In the last line, why did you choose that preposition? Why upon rather than within? And why "my" rather than "a"? As in "within a kiss"? Somehow I'm missing the painting here, what a shame! I so love Bouguereau.

      This was an attempt to say that the kiss would make everything clear. Not just any kiss, MY kiss. The kiss is for me, but I would not be the only one benefitting. I went from being a paying member to a free member and the pictures are gone now.

    Ignoring the spiritual elements
    A lovely soft meter and a well constructed sonnet. Not Bad at all!

    Well now, appropriately proportioned genitals... your a mess.

    This was a well penned piece more of a sense of love and growth then a dedication, but s I just read here.

    Well done and best wishes to you in the contest
