To Kiss

To Kiss and Tell
rolls real well
along the seam
that seals my mind.
But instant thoughts
like kisses soft
and lips that loft
rush fools into kisses that tell
far too well,
that instant thoughts can have lasting
effect
on those who’s minds let kisses dwell . . .

Like Cats

Like cats intertwined
Or puppy dogs tumbled alltogether,

You and I
share cares (bare) on this bed.
In and Out
Your breath and mine,
Like thoughts laced with wine or
Sunlight through vines.

Just then, when I stood next to you,
It took all my pacifism
To not reach out and touch you.
Now I sit here on the edge
Of war wondering why I didn’t.

Wait.
I did.
I reached out and stroked your face.
Just my body
Stayed in place. Now, . . .

Night and I are dark inside.
The moon and you
A rising tide.
This life (and the rest) too light.
Night and I,
We must hold tight.

Death and

 TAXES . . .
 
They say death and taxes are the only two things you can’t avoid.
 
There’s a finality there that is hard to ignore.
 
A sense of dying already let in the door.
 
But what if you want to deny this truth?
 
What if you wanted nothing, and needed less?  Would governments be
 
Satisfied without redress?
 
Somewhere out there on the edge, where the sky meets the earth, where
 
Birds fly and the unknown still lies like a sea serpent looking for dinner,
 
We look to find our salvation.
 
An eternal spring, a new life form that when wedded with ours will create an
 
Everlasting, always young, new humankind.
 
And I wonder, could we do that without changing, rearranging our current
 
Universe. Or would this change like some domino exhibit collapse us all 

Into

Some black hole that is worse than death and . . . taxes.
