BEYOND, by                    
First Line: She was just a bit inclined
Last Line: "and they kissed -- ""beyond the veil!"
Subject(s): Kisses


She was just a bit inclined
To be sad and soulful; so
She inquired, "Does your mind
Ever question you, to know
What the Unseen holds in store,
What the Unknown shall entail?
Have you cravings to explore
What there lies 'beyond the vale'?"

He was not a bit like her,
He'd of "soulfulness" no trace;
So he said, "If you refer
To that veil which hides your face,
I'll admit a wild desire
Its sweet secrets to assail,
So -- ah, dear one . . . raise it higher!"

And they kissed -- "beyond the veil!"
