A Good Kiss-- homework for my poetry class...
A Good Kiss

A good kiss opens you
Your helpless body awakens

When mouths and lips and god help us tongues meet
all bets are off
as to where this kiss will go

Follow it

let it lead you

let the kiss go where it may

Let your body tell you
What it needs

Only a fool doesn’t listen

You might be surprised
At what it says
Or not
Who knows?

To be struck open with passion may bring you unexpected joy
or sorrow
But that is what your life is
You are not dead yet

Not if that kiss is any indication

4. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy
SEX THREAD ALERT..................:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Mine was in Honolulu...............(The Best Kiss)
So true.........
:hi:

"The Inheritors are on their way. In a universe of billions of stars, there are places of love and happiness. On this Earth, in this spot, magic settled for a moment. Wonder touched a few lives, and a few odd pieces fell smoothly into the jigsaw of Creation."

8. My dear CaliforniaPeggy!
As I may or may not have said in another thread, I like how poetry brings out the beauty in the simple things in life - like a kiss.

Which, of course, is more than just a simple thing sometimes!

24. My dear 6000eliot...
Oh, thank you!

I really wasn't sure about this one...

It is hard to write on demand, and that's what I was doing here...

My teacher said this was her favorite of all the poems I've done for class so far...

I loved that last line too! I knew it was good when it showed up in my mind!

26. Very nice.
And I think many should take this as advice!

Your poems seem to have a sensual nature. Hmmmmmm . . . just an observation.
