The One Kiss

The one kiss I ought to have dismissed Is haunting me like an unsettled ghost I felt a lingering sweetness in its taste Enriched with sensuality and ripeness I just refused to let it go to waste The temptation to sample The kiss of the forbidden apple was there, out in open air A kiss is not just a kiss With my heart the kiss unlocked a door I never knew was there before Now I long for more and more Wishing for everything to be like before Presently my mind wanders without rest Time has passed, My mind still wanders without rest To forget, I try to do my best My eyes which were once closed Are now wide open Searching, seeking, trying so hard to spot The one kiss I ought to have dismissed Copyright 2005 - Sylvia Chidi
