Love Poem: How To Kiss

How To Kiss

Kiss me like the light kisses the earth at the point of sunrise

Kiss me like water absorbed into neglected earth during a light rain shower

Kiss me not like mistletoe

Kiss me like I have moments before the gallows

Kiss me like love returned when thought lost for always

Kiss me not like a mother’s mother

Kiss me like someone in love with the sensual art form of lips embracing 

Kiss me like a daydream fantasy realized

Kiss me not like routine absence

Kiss me like demise barely survived

Kiss me like a miracle just revealed

Kiss me not like a familiar friend

Kiss me like I’m nearing a compelling mortal endeavor impossible to accomplish

Kiss me like an artist’s paint brush kisses the canvas while painting the likeness of his love -kiss after kiss

Kiss me not like intimacy disrupted by prying eyes

Kiss me like privacy at long last 

Kiss me…like modesty forgotten
