Grant Me Just This ...

This is not an S.O.S.

A cheap manifesto

Or a misleading mess

This is only me

With a simple request 

Grant me just this

One immodest kiss

Fantastic. Sometimes, it's all we need.

[Desert Knave]

Thanks. Yeah, it does go a long way.

I would imagine many out there would also share that dream. Wondering what detective movie inspired this write. I saw Lauren Bacall puckering up. Nice.

Thanks. I did not even recognize most of the players, but the woman had the noir Bacall vibe to her.
