You must remember this – a kiss is still a kiss…
The fundamental things apply – as time goes by (“As Time Goes By” music and words by Herman Hupfeld)
Inspired Julia’s Place who was inspired by by The Daily Post challenge of KISS:

Some Kisses are Divine
Lips close enough so we
Inhale each other’s soul’s warm breath:
This kiss before the kiss.
Our eyes seek, and speak in
Love’s most precious ways, to reach,
Immersed, inside that gaze.
Then, and only then, do
These lips meet; sweep mouth’s sweet flesh,
To part again to breathe, and
Rushing back with darting
Tongue to catch the corporeal soul,
And finally to seal
Love’s lips; and
Upon the whole
completing it.

this poem recommends against garlic for dinner 🙂 A fine poem Randy!
I love your response. But I love garlic too.
What a quandary.
a stinky conundrum ! I’ll keep my nose open for a solution!
🙂
“Play it once more, Sam. For old time’s sake.” Sweet poem, Randy. I’d love to see more of this side of you in Friday Fictioneers. In any case, I like this.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks – maybe I will, but I like the humor that the pics generally arouse in me.
For some reason Friday fictioneers arouses me to laughter rather than kisses.
Happy Purim.
Shalom, Randy
“The kiss before the kiss” says it all. The anticipation. The journey, not the destination.
😉
It’s all in the journey, eh, Paul?
Glad to see you’re hanging around in those seats along the walls, watching and listening. That’s great.
“Keep coming back.”
I like it.
Fondly, Randy
Are you calling me a wallflower? Lately, I only flower your wall, and Mike’s Look At Life wall. After all, I can’t let my brothers stand alone. I’ve got your back!
Thanks, my back needs covering.
I never worry about my front. I let that all hang out.
What a disgusting visual!
no appreciation of a true art form…
