This short poem combines the sweetness of a passionate kiss from a loved one and the gentleness of an angel like kiss by a child with sugary lips and tender toes. Beautiful!

It might not be Valentines but the sentiments are fresh as peppermints...I'll get my coat. But really Lovely work Mr. Lemon, it really does work on different levels, there is the innocuous aspect of a simple sweet, and there is the more tangible substance of a deep love, the succulent delight of feeling a loved once lips, sweet as Hershey's kisses. Ravishingly delightful.
