A second kiss
More eagerly awaited
Full of conviction
Yet overconfident
Hearts race unchecked
When over eager lips
Engage, like
spaceships docking
And both parties
forget to breathe

A SECOND KISS
THE BOUNTY OF OUR UNION
The sun set the sky ablaze
In the silent dawn
Before spilling golden light
Through the window
Illuminating the room
Disturbing my slumber.
Through sleep filled eyes
I gaze at the window,
And on the sill
Framed in the sunlight
There sits the bounty of our union
Her golden curls aflame
In the morning sun
Smiling that familiar
Heart melting smile
But that time it was heartbreaking
Because it was a smile
I would never see again
On the face of my daughter
In earthly form
CHILD OF NATURE
She was a child of nature
The most special one
With a smile as warm
As the summer sun
Yet fragile and
delicate
Like an early bloom in
spring
Bright as a shaft of
sunlight
Illuminating the gloom
Spectacular and
exiting
As the days first
dawning
Yet simple and
refreshing
As a clear winter
morning
Tempestuous and wild,
like
An autumn gale blowing
The most special one
She was a child of
nature
SHE’S LEAVING
I suppress the sunshine, she says
And bring her nothing
but rain
Now I’m begging her
not to leave
But I know that it is
in vain
And I know that if I
let her go,
Although that would
ease her pain,
I am full of fear of saying
goodbye
A FIRST KISS
A first kiss,
Nervous, anxious,
When tentative
And hesitant lips
Lacking confidence
Needing conviction
Miss their mark
And teeth collide
WHEN DID THE LOVE DIE
When did the love die?
At what moment did it
turn
It was that, once too
often,
Hint of ardours odour
upon her
The smell of another
man
On her clothes, her
skin, her hair,
That made him snap
Making him lose
control
And strike her down
Snuffing out the life
Of his unfaithful wife
EVERYTHING BUT A POSSESSION TO ME
My partner and lover
My significant other
My best friend and gal
My confidante and pal
The love of my life
Happily, you’re my wife
