**the Kissing Game! Poem by RAJ NANDY

THE KISSING GAME!

Some like to breathe easy without touching
of lips,
And some prefer mouth-to-mouth respiration, -
when heart stops to beat!
While a few get tongue tied, when their lips
begin to lock;
As their tongues explore a taste, they had
almost forgot!
A cool peck on the cheek shows love and
affection, -
But a patronizing one on the forehead could
be mere pretension!
The butterfly heart may dance around seeing
a beautiful Miss, -
Though many a flirty heart got stolen, -
with just a simple kiss!
A person who hasn’t often kissed his girl or
his wife, -
When blindfolded to play ‘Kiss and Tell’*, -
becomes a loser in his life!
Lipstick on your collar may let your secrets
out!
But a stolen kiss tastes better, when taken
without a doubt!
And after a candle light dinner, with soft
music and a dance, -
A prolonged kiss takes you to paradise, -
When you both float in a trance………!
