This is a poem I stumbled across on the internet. No, I did not write it, and I do not know who did but I do like it, particularly given the title. I modified some words to fit my way of thinking but the frame of it is as I found it. It is only a hint of a sliver of a fraction of the longing that I feel on a daily basis....the craving for connection deeper than most are willing to go, further than most are capaple of enduring. I give you.....
Soul Kiss
Every time i turn around, it's all the same old tease
See everything you ever dreamed you'd want
But nothing that you need
And every gorgeous face in Hollywood pretends they could be mine
I have the spending money and I even have the time
to get the image right
And party through the night
But as it's getting light....
I'm still waiting for a soul kiss.
Do I have to beg you please?
Yet another heartless tease
Will it always hurt like this?
When you're lookin' for a soul kiss
And all the shiny stores in all the world
are filled with empty boys and plastic girls
They worship ways to keep their eyes closed,
And call their darkness a beautiful world.
And all the techies take control
of better ways to sell you shit that can't make you whole
I like to wine, to dine
And, you sure are lookin' fine
And we could kill some time
But I'm looking for a soul kiss.
I've even said please
But you're always just a tease
I fear it's always gonna be like this.
'Cause I'm looking for a soul kiss
All I ever really wanted was a soul kiss....
