Notes About The Poem

Kiss Your Eyes

Whene'er I think of how time flies
  I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes ...

     Perhaps in lieu of all sad goodbyes
       (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

          A token for the brokenhearted lies
            (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

              The ration of poor-fashioned alibis
               (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

                 Just that bitter bit of compromise
                  (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

                   A provisional mission of butterflies
                   (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

                    A fling that things can make arise
                    (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

                   The sound of your seducing sighs
                   (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

                  So much a touch can not disguise
                 (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

                Small ways you always improvise
              (I tend to tenderly kiss your eyes)

            Those thousand things we realize
          When you've a mind to fantasize

       It's ALL that and the other "why's"
     Why I tend to tenderly kiss ...

Your eyes.

Nette Onclaud April 29, 2019 at 6:35 PM i enjoy those times when we simply write nonchalantly, as if in a whim, then only to realize a piece is ' all good.' like a kiss. superb, greg.... huggs Gregory Richard Barden April 30, 2019 at 2:00 AM Well-said, Nette, and I agree ... those are the truly pleasurable ones. I'm very happy that you could tell that from this one, because it was almost an afterthought - I had no intention to write when I started it, then - boom! So much fun! Thank you so much, and blessings! :-) <3
