So what if I couldn’t answer
the fatal question
I’ve tried to convey
perhaps I’m the one man
who could actually
be capable of having
his own original thought
that may differ
from all the rest
or how I say 
the others. 

I swear
I could pretend
by filling pages 
full of fancy thoughts
a diatribe of nonsense
I doubt you’d understand 
why certain words
hover above all the rest. 

In all honesty
it’s all too easy 
spending every minute
having you in mind
perhaps this is why
the forbidden words
stay locked away
it’s just safer,
besides,
what would you do
with that knowledge anyway?

Pretty are the terms
we’ve negotiated on
you’re the lucky one
who gets whatever
however she wants.  

We both know
we love
in our own way
whose to say
when you’re super close
whispering private thoughts
exclusively to your man
needs aren’t being met. 

Let’s celebrate the sunshine
there’s an abundance
so much so
our colored shoulders
are the evidence
of all our sessions
there in our garden. 

Let’s appreciate how nothing 
is ever taken away
in this paradise
we aren’t searching
for that one thing
that completes us
equally both. 

There’s nothing wrong
being drawn to the opposite
bring your kiss up close
there’s something 
I really need to say
I love you 
and I know it’s not
what you want to hear
oh well. 

I left early 
and now 
you’re getting this poem
try and decipher
what it was
that got me all bothered
understand 
it started with
how I was asked. 

Kiss Kiss
