The Silent KISS

A surprise silent kiss is to be cherished.  – by poet.,

It was evidently inescapable.
     Certainly I did not expect it at the time.

The railway station was over crowded
I was patiently waiting for my sister to arrive.
           She was supposed to wear a purple dress.
           So when I saw the dress I assumed
My sister had finally arrived. I hurried
And gave her one big hug and a silent kiss.

Where upon the stranger turned and uttered a yell.
She was not my sister and I had grabbed someone else.
        For a moment no one dared to breathe or move.
        I looked at her beautiful face, finely chiseled,
"Well, well, well," she said. "You owe me big, a dinner tonight."
I smiled. We agreed on an Italian diner.
We ordered oysters, followed by a grilled swordfish.
And a tiramisu, laced with a famous Barolo.
     It was incredible how we became so fine friends.

We agreed on meeting again. As we came to part
     I took her in my arms and it was a long silent kiss.
