The Phantom Kiss
One night in my room, still and beamless,
With will and with thought in eclipse,
I rested in sleep that was dreamless;
When softly there fell on my lips
A touch, as of lips that were pressing
Mine own with the message of bliss—
A sudden, soft, fleeting caressing,
A breath like a maiden’s first kiss.
I woke—and the scoffer may doubt me—
I peered in surprise through the gloom;
But nothing and none were about me,
And I was alone in my room.
Perhaps ‘t was the wind that caressed me
And touched me with dew-laden breath;
Or, maybe, close-sweeping, there passed me
The low-winging Angel of Death.
Some sceptic may choose to disdain it,
Or one feign to read it aright,
Or wisdom may seek to explain it—
This mystical kiss in the night.
But rather let fancy thus clear it:
That, thinking of me here alone,
The miles were made naught, and, in spirit,
Thy lips, love, were laid on mine own.

My favourite passage would be the 18:20 train from Glasgow Central to Mallaig on Monday 18, arriving at Mallaig half an hour before midnight, with a prelude Virgin Express bound North - then an island stay that would make this passage but a prelude, and this prelude but a footnote.
As you may know, I don't quote from books or poems easily, but I'd quite happily write you into either. Inspire me any further and I'll be but your ghost writer.

atomictulip.. If that is by you, I'd be quite keen to be wiped away instantly by a blast your magnitude.

And if you insist on knowing my bliss
I'll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I'll only smile when I lie, then I'll tell you this
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life."
~ Hall & Oates

Yes, that was too beautiful. I dont know any on kissing but for love itself i could give you one.
“The passion of love
Bursting into flame
Is more powerful than death,
Stronger that the grave
Love cannot be drowned
By oceans or floods;
It cannot be bought
No matter how much is offered.”
(8.6b, 7)
