Kiss

200843

Did you think a kiss
would buy my everlasting affection
that you only needed to caress my skin
and I was yours for life?

A woman needs a man with soul
one who knows how to empathise
who can hear her speak
and leaves her feeling whole

Hands and lips
have a lot of lies to answer for

Lingering

sad-on-winter-night

The nights pass
in painful despair
without the knowing of you

My thoughts
drift in
then fall from dreams

I fear
you are with her
but wonder
when you touch her skin
when you kiss her lips
  is it not hers you feel
but the lingering memory
of mine?
