What is the meaning of The Kiss by robert graves?

Answer 1

In my opinion, The Kiss by Robert Graves is about life and death. The kiss refers to the kiss of death if you notice in the last stanza;Is that Love? no, but Death,

A passion, a shout,

The deep in-breath,

The breath roaring out,

And once that is flown,

You must lie alone,

Without hope, without life,

Poor flesh, sad bone.

Describing the feeling of life running out, running out of breath without hope or life..all that remains is just our body not our soul.
