Desire

THIS KISS WHICH NE'

QUOTE:

This kiss which ne'er these lips shall pass Endures as proof that dreams may last These lines which keep us both apart Draw boundaries round a yearning heart These feelings mix with cold deceit Sweet fear and longing when we meet This badge of loyalty I wear Protects us both from love unfair This chasm which I'll never cross Prevents us taking gain or loss These stairs will never take me higher Than here - this purgatory of desire.
