Kiss

It's something far deeper
Than merely touching lips
In a secluded and familiar place.

Closer than touch,
More knowing than sure study,
And more beautiful than any
Man or God made wonder--
Though surely His hand
Touches at the heart of its
Pure and lovely act--
Lovers do more than they know
With a simple brush of lips.

Love,
Then a Kiss.
