The Kiss

Today I took a walk around Kew Gardens to enjoy the colours of autumn. Around the two hundred years or so of botanical and ancient growth lay a collection of sculptures. Here I came to discover the work of Paul Vanstone, large graceful slabs of Italian Carrera marble, smooth and sensual. I looked up and caught an angle of two profiles and their stolen kiss!

Don't let me betray you with my kiss,

It is love I want to share,

I give you one kiss,

I could give you more,

Don't let me stop,

Looking for your lips,

If I could.
