A KISS

A kiss for a baby, new born to this life,
A kiss from the mother, be she "single" or "wife".

A kiss for the dying, a kiss born of death
A kiss that devours your very last breath.

A kiss between lovers, a kiss born of lust
Tongue upon tongue as they probe and they thrust.

A kiss from a pop star, borne up by the crowd
An ego that's pumping, big headed and loud.

A kiss for a loved one that's borne on a prayer
In hope of protection whilst out of their care.

A kiss for a friendship, borne out by the years
Of good times and bad times, of laughter & tears.

A kiss for the soulmate who saw you reborn
Who brought to your darkness a glorious dawn.

A kiss for its own sake, its born out of nought
A carefree expression, no reason, no thought.

And last...

A kiss from faithless Judas, borne with dignity
Thus two deaths were brokered, in Gethsemane.
