NIMMERSATT*


Klimmt ** kissescaress these languid lips.Rocked in armsheld tight with lovers' wishes,surfeit with tenderness - yet I lack. Banks burgeon with savings, 

stuffed,a notoriety of notesin wads of wallets,their plentiful purses promise - still I lack The table is trimmedrobust with bountyfoods abound in varietyso green, so gargantuanso plenty. 



I ache from hunger. - indeed I lack. BjR  18 July '10  **Gustav Klimmt - Austrian artist's painting - The Kiss
*Nimmersatt - from a German nursery story about a catepillar  who ate everything and was never satisfied.

Thanks Poewriter

Interesting comment - I had indeed intended to put in another stanza and then I thought by adding that one line "I ache from hunger" it would suffice. I'm afraid that's where I'm going to have to leave it. Thanks for stopping by! Boni
