I send you a kiss.
One memorable kiss
That you can feel in your heart.
No spittle,
No germs,
No embarrassing breath—
No
Lipstick stains,
Jealously,
Fighting,
Slamming doors,
Or drama of any kind.
Just the faint whisper
Of heated air
Passing your cheek-
Lingering long enough
To mingle in your scent.
My gift between
Consenting adults.
One solitary kiss
That doesn’t lead to more.
No lusting,
Nothing sexy....
Like a misplaced hair
Tickling your face
Or a soft tissue
Wiping a tear.
One solitary kiss.
My little present
For you to accept-
To remember when
The calendar pages
Fall like autumn leaves-
To unveil when times are hard-
To savor when you’re alone.
I send you a kiss.
Did you get it?
Very nice!
