After she kissed me, breath was described
As the longing for her to kiss me again,
And I found authors had failed in their 'scribing
of a kiss, for it was better by tens
Than the sway of Delilah hips, which made strongmen slave,
And Cleopatra’s rule seemed so tame
For I saw how she ruled men who were brave:
She kissed them once; they surrendered to be kissed again.
