The earth awhirl,
Sweetheart, I wander far
Adown the crowded street,
Upon my burning lips
The clinging kiss.
A thousand years
May sear this life of mine,
But in my memory
I hold one treasure dear,
The clinging kiss.
A thousand caravans
May bear a wealth untold,
The stones of India
Will pale beside my gem,
The clinging kiss.
O wondrous love,
That burns to ash my heart,
Give back to me that hour
She placed upon my lips
The clinging kiss.
- Poem by Fenton Johnson
Where one drop of blood drains a castle of
life, so one kiss can bring it alive again.
- The Sleeping Beauty
A kiss is a lovely trick designed
by nature to stop speech when
words become superfluous.
- Ingrid Bergman
I'm so tired, but I can't sleep...
standing on the edge of something
much too deep...funny how I feel
so much but cannot say a word...
we are screaming inside,
oh, but we can't be heard...
so afraid to love you,
more afraid to lose...
clinging to a past.
- Sarah McLachlan
