LOVE IS THE SPICE OF LIFE

 

Love is the magical

Ingredient, seasoning an

Ordinary existence

UNDERMINING

 

Our love, once sturdy

Like granite against the storm

Has been eroded

By elements of distrust

Unspoken discontents,

And bitter jealousies

Corroding like acid

Doubts and suspicion

Growing like cancers

Until they become the terminal

Silent killers of love

MERCIFUL RELEASE

 

Now has come the day

When my love must sail away

Upon a morphine sea

You drift away from me

And you breathe your last

As pain releases its bitter grasp

KISS NUMBER THREE

 

The third kiss

Is eager yet restrained

Slow yet purposeful

And when lips meet

Hearts start racing

But each moment is savoured

This kiss, though not life changing

Will be remembered

FINAL KISS

 

Love has died in you

But my love for you is vast

I think this goodbye kiss

Is bound to be our last

LEAVING

You say I suppress the sunshine

And bring you only rain

I beg you not to leave

But I know it is in vain

I know if I let you go

That would ease your pain

But I fear if we say goodbye

We will never meet again?

KISS NUMBER TWO

 

The second kiss

More eagerly awaited

Full of conviction

Yet over confident

Hearts race unchecked

When over eager lips

Engage like spaceships docking

And both parties forget to breathe
