What Is A Kiss?

Everyone loves kisses.

A butterfly resting
Flutters it's wings.
One glimpse of this
Delicate being
Is breathtaking.

A tiny eyelash
Making your biggest dreams
Come true,
With a simple puff
Is amazing .

A boy taking his life
For a girl
He knows he loves.
No matter
How foolish
Is immense.

Butterfly kisses,
Careful wishes,
And star-crossed lovers...
Make a kiss
Perfect.

Author's Note

The third stanza is a reference to "Mully-o and Gilly-et" (Romeo And Juliet - by Shakespeare) I wrote before I even knew I loved him, showing in truth, we are lovers meant to be ;)

A beautiful poem......with underlying sadness.
A kiss can be so much, mean so much, and can be so one sided sometimes...............

[Helen Woodward]

Perfect Gillian, beautifully crafted with accent on key words. There is undeniable truth in this piece.
Nicely done...
