How Many Lovers

how many lovers have you touched
in more ways than one
how many have touched you back
tell me—me alone

how many lovers have you kissed
with lips that knew no fear
how many have kissed you back
but missed a fallen tear

how many lovers knew you well
with all their heart and soul
how many have come back
that couldn't let you go

how many lovers have you loved
was it each and every one
how many have loved you back
tell me—me alone

Yep you and you alone baby. And it's not just what you want to hear.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
