OH, IF ONLY IT WERE SO!
Thank you, Lord, most for this
for the lie that lies in every kiss.
Even though I kiss, kiss, kiss,
kissing true is what most I miss.
Miss most but never quite enough,
for truth is at the bottom of my list.
I confess my lips are but a kind of fist
wrapped in softness with a twist
of threat like Scarlett's Rhett:
"Frankly,my dear...."
I kiss my way to a woman's regret.
Mike Geary

Be thankful you didn't have to pay to read that.
