Notes About The Poem

Kiss the Questions Away

Sweet play of water, little fish lick
    and ticklishly suck with soft
     tentative lips.
Moon plays our music 
    with dancing white faeries 
    on small lulling waves.
And you are beside me...
My nose in your neck;
Fragrant ozone and coconut
    oily mixture with salt on
    my tongue.
With caresses of wind, voices with
    smiles reach our outer shell
    playfully singing.
I wonder how wandering thoughts
    from my enchanted mind
    enter yours but they do.
For you turn your head and reply:
    "I hear you"
Before I kiss the questions away
    from your eyes,
    my fingers trail crescents around
    your full lips;
And our green and brown eyes
    melt away to mint chocolate
    drops dripping with love.
