Notes About The Poem

The kiss is not just silent

The kiss is not just silent
           it is nonexistent,
                     like the womb
                               of your love~
the barren wasteland
          of too hot or too cold,
                    emotional ups and downs,
                               the highs excruciating~
the lows bottomless,
          unlike the lowest level of hell,
                    no rebounding and ascending
                              to the ecstasy of the sublime~
only descent into the madness
          of your nightmare.
