kiss me

the world is crazy 

so don't hesitate 

kiss me

take off that mask you wear

see me

for who I really am

fanciful and whimsical

hold my hand 

follow the pathway of stars

to the pot of gold

then kiss me

like it's the end of the world

There is an adv. of a choclate company...
Kiss Me, Close Your Eyes
Miss Me, Close Your Eyes
And Kiss Me,
I Can Read Your Lips
On Your Fingertips
I Can Feel Your Smile
Come On My Lips
And Happiness In Your Eyes

Kiss Me, Close Your Eyes

It's been one of my fav... reminded me of it when i read your poem...
Kiss is surely a wonderful thing from your loved one...in this crazy mad world :)
I enjoyed reading this...thank you for sharing...

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks, Ardra. I have never seen that advertisement. Sounds like a good one though. Lydi**

This is the latest version... with touch of social distancing :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Close your eyes, kiss me is all they keep saying in it. Cute commercial, but nothing like my words. I don't think they play that ad here.

[Ardra]

The long one was in different version :)
Your words are always better any day :))

[Lydia Shutter]

Awww, thanks.

[Patricia Wedel]

Lydi... the pathway to Stars in your photo
is that "touch" of the divine as though your
poetry is more positive than anything we
could read or hear in the Media. You are the "hope"
in the Corner of Pandora's box. I find your poem to
be a "locket of endearment" to embrace romance
'as if it were the end of the world'. gently, Pat

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you very much, Pat. Yes, we must embrace romance whenever we can. Lydi**

[Cassie]

these masks are making us unrecognizable

[Lydia Shutter]

How true, Cassie. Thanks for the visit. Be well. Lydi**

Or regret it for the rest of your life.
We do always find a reason not to take a chance, and I wonder how many during lockdown wished they had taken that final chance before the world decided to get all upside down and back to front.
And how many of them will take that chance if it comes round again? It could lead to another generation of baby boomers if all goes well... I mean goes to plan. 😀
But spare a though for all those unlucky souls who had a first date planned before the world shut up shop. They will quite rightly think the world is against them and they are jinxed.
That kiss, just like your words, leave us all looking forward to the next one. 😀

[Lydia Shutter]

In life, there are too many "if onlys". We have to take a leap when we can. Of course, that is easier said than done. Thank you for this lovely review, Lorry. I appreciate it. Lydi**

[Dave Brown]

Good stuff Lydia
Another well-chosen image
Wonderful artwork and hot lyrics

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Dave....I love it when people notice the artwork I choose to accompany my words. Lydi**

[Dave Brown]

I do art and am always looking
this image looks simplistic but is actually very well done

Thanks for the visit, Al. Lydi*

Dying for a kiss. Who can resist a wonderful lip snacking kiss? Many will take a chance, hoping it won't be their last. Oh for days pre-covid Lydi**. We didn't appreciate the freedom we had. A poem for the times. Lovely piece of brevity and look at your posted image. That pout looks most kissable.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks for the review and for noticing the artwork...as you so often do! Yes, we didn't know how good we had it Pre-Covid-19. Ah, for the good ole bad ole days. Lydi**

[Chris Shaw]

Yes we will be talking for years about pre and post covid.

[Lydia Shutter]

Unfortunately, yes, you are right.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

nothing like a kiss, and if it were to be the last one...what a way to die.
love it, Lydi.

I was a bit reminded of J. Frank Wilson...."I held her close I kissed her our last kiss, I found the love that I knew I would miss"---
j.

[Lydia Shutter]

"But now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life that night" Those story songs were all the rage back then. Thanks for the review and the memory, Jacob. Lydi**

[Brian Shepard]

Oooohhh I like this. Blunt and beautiful- every shy man's dreamgirl. Brilliant. Well done.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thank you, Brian. Lydi*

[Neville]

wow... this is the kind of love poem that is so befitting of the moment.. no frills but still retaining a decency that commands respect.. Hell yeah.. let's pretend the end is nearer than it might well be.. lets all get naked and ..... well okay let's start with a few little pecks on the cheek and work our way from there... x

[Lydia Shutter]

Somehow I knew you would take it a step further, Neville! :) You are such a cad! Thanks for the review. Lydi**

[Neville]

I am trying to behave and maintain my self isolation.. in accordance with local social distancing stipulations ... and it always works .. it gets me nowhere :)

[Lydia Shutter]

:) Always safe while social distancing....better than one foot on the ground!

[Neville]

blimey.. them were the days weren't they.. :)
