GELETT BURGESS
The Maxims of Methuselah
Do not fall in love with people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE

Stephen kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.
Stephen's kiss was lost in jest,
Robin's lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin's eyes
Haunts me night and day.
SARA TEASDALE

I pull you close but when we kiss I can feel a doubt.
I remember back when we started,
My kisses used to turn you inside out.
