Learning How To Kiss
*
*
Our planet flies through space
While lovers embrace
Creating shards of light
Shattering the darkest night.
My dear look down
Upon the stone faced ground.
Gaze upon the fields and mountains
Contemplate the isles that rest
In unrepentant loneliness.
Here for you a golden chain
Put our blue green home upon it
Wear it round your neck enthrone it
Let it roll upon your breast
As galaxies entwine your hair
And falling stars are
Everywhere.
Kiss me once and then we fly
Leaving sun and moon behind
Wearing gowns of shifting starlight
Drinking deep celestial wine.
Now I have you in this place
Somewhere deep in endless space.
Teach me how to really kiss
As we merge in endless bliss.
As we play among the heavens
Suddenly I hear a sound
The dog is scratching at the door
Our child is crying down the hall
Daylight creeps upon the floor
Silently I watch you stir.
And then you speak soft words I keep
“Last night we met someone up there
Who laughed and followed us down here
Before one year is gone she will
Bring us our joy fulfilled.”
Outside the grass is growing tall
Business murmurs
Car horns sound.
I must find another job!
Secure the miracle of life
Will bring us safely
Through the night.
Here for you a golden chain
Put our blue green home upon it
Wear it round your neck enthrone it
Let it roll upon your breast
As galaxies entwine your hair
And falling stars are
Everywhere.

I’m the worst commenter in the blogosphere. I read your poetry. It touches my heart and I simply don’t know what to say. I could say thank you for sharing abut that sounds so trite. What to do? Normally, I just say nothing at all. Today I’m leaving this comment so you will know how much I appreciated your poem.

Who are we really? Why do we sometimes trivialize the most amazing things? How do we deal with our present economic problems? How do we gain perspective on life? These are some of the questions I have been thinking about and trying to write about in my own way.
Thank you very much for your comment. It’s a great help to know how you feel about these things. I know my poetry is humble in status but would like to think it is meaningful in some way.
Dear David, I am very tired today, but my feet brought me here as often happens. I am at home here. I read this poem and am so moved. In reading it — I don’t know why but — I felt seen. As if it spoke to the deepest most vast part of ME, of Life in general, of who we all are at our finest. It spoke to some truth that I don’t even have words for today. When I read this I also feel a soul seeking, your soul, seeking the deepest part of YOU. That in turn touches the same place in others.
I do not believe that there is any such thing as grand poetry. Even poetry that might follow some spoken or unspoken rules of poetry edict, does not necessarily make it good poetry. I have found that the most soul stirring, most intimate poetry is humble poetry. And this poem moved me to tears. It is very intimate, it is timeless, it is exquisitely sweet and memorable. It is exceptional and reflects so much of your heart.
Thank you for continuing to write your poetry.
It is important that you do so for yourself and others.
It helps people better understand and experience who they really are.
Hugs my dear friend,
Robin

Hmmm.. I know this is going to sound strange, but while I was reading your poem. I was hearing it in my mind with a RAP type musical sound.
Very beautiful… Very touching… Deeply felt!
Thank-you!
