Love Poem: A Thousand Kisses

A Thousand Kisses

Lips are meant to be kissed
but yours also must smile,
and when they part wide,
I will kiss you for awhile.
 
My lips drink on your lips,
my thirsty still didn’t end.
I trace with my fingertips
a treasure map to send:
 
more kisses before you ask
and tell me with a bow:
“Sir, this is your prime task:
start fulfilling it right now!”
 
Oh, woe betide! I will obey,
A thousand kisses, today.
