It is perfume from a dress
That makes me so digress?

I'm
caught with three drinks in my hands
on the stairs looking up
at the sisters leaving before the dance.

Give me your hand,
that small one without a mark of work on it,
the one that's strange to the washing-up bowl
and doesn't know Fairy Liquid for whiskey.
(Helen Dunmore - again. 'All The Things You Are Not Yet'

Five minutes of solitude are
enough--in the bath, or to fill
that gap between the Sunday papers and lunch.

Not forgetting...
They say vibrators are so good today
there's no more need for men...
The foreplay though is short on fun -
how much of your own body can you kiss?
[Fiona Pitt-Kethley: DIY]

Sweet Lips
A kiss is just a kiss
It is just an embrace
Between two lips, that kiss
Because a kiss is just pure bliss

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh...
[What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why (Sonnet XLIII):
Edna St. Vincent Millay]

If thou kiss not me?

You must remember this,
A kiss is just a kiss,
A smile is just a smile
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

Wild nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur...

Never try to trick me with a kiss
pretending that the birds are here to stay
the dying man will scoff and scorn at this

For verily love knows not 'mine' or 'thine,'
With separate 'I' and 'thou' free love has done,
For one is both and both are one in love.
[Christina Rossetti: Monna Innominata - A Sonnet of Sonnets]

Their heads fell apart into sleep like the two halves
Of a lopped melon, but love is hard to stop
In their entwined sleep they exchanged arms and legs
In their dreams their brains took each other hostage
[Ted Hughes: Lovesong]

Sorry, interruption. Bluesue, I couldn't leave a message for you so I've added you to my friends list. If that's not OK with you I'll delete it. It means you get notice of my Journal entries and generally feel like a friend. If that is OK with you, and you want to do this, go to my Personal Space (click on my name in blue above) and find 'Add To Friends' on the top right hand corner of my page and click that. Then we'll both be friends
