Summer Kiss...

  Feu...a kiss; a fire    Embrasser (ahn-bra-say)...to kiss, hug, enfold, take up    Embraser (ahn-bra-zay)...to set fire to, to catch fire     ...The French have the best words about the ways of love and passion.  Even something as seemingly as simple as a kiss can ignite the senses.  While driving home one evening I happened to be travelling through downtown Akron, which caused me to pass by the local art movie theatre.  As I zoomed by I spotted a couple standing in front of the theatre.  As I slowed down for the changing traffic light I watched the two as they positioned themselves in front of each other.  The fella was dressed in casual slacks and a short-sleeved dress shirt appropriate for a date on a very hot and humid evening.  Wearing a simple summer frock, the lady stepped closer as the man cautiously placed his hands at her waist.  In one fluid movement the lady wrapped her arms around the shy gentleman and planted one of the most passionate kisses on him I have ever witn
