She had those Pale Fingers

What I would do to kiss those fingers.

To perhaps feel the electric spark.

Slender long fingers, I imagine.

Fingers turning the world around dark. 

Turn away if you must,

From my sinful unworthy lips.

But lend me a hand so that I may kiss

Those lovely fingertips.

Were I bold and were I stunning,

Were my courage strong,

Then perhaps kissing your lips

Would not be so wrong.

In truth, my lady, I should

Physically keep my distance.

I should not risk the danger

Of losing self control for one instance.

The wise words I've heard tell me

Ignorance is bliss.

Perhaps I should not find out

The effects of a single kiss.

This was quite an amazing poem. There are no words to explain the effect it has once read.

I hope you know you are truly talented. I don't even know how to describe what I just read, this is an extravagant poem!

Oh, where would we all be if it were not for "The effects of a single kiss"? This is beautiful work that begs to be read again and again. And, save us all from wise words and let us be the foolish ones.

This is excellent work.

Wow, this blew me away. I keep re-reading it but yet still cannot quite find the words to review this in the way I feel it deserves. Excellent. I look forward to reading more of your work. You have a way with words and expressing emotion beautifully.
