And now I
Know having kissed
Another I now
Know your kiss
The immersion I
Feel from your
Lips like dunking
My head under
Water I’m in
A different world
And when I
Break the surface
Of your kiss
I see your
Eyes like bright
Sunshine making me
Squint and draw
You in closer
Than close to
Me
It’s been a
Month that I’ve
Known you each
Day is something
New a deeper
Cut a stronger
Whack against the
Trees that we
Are coming closer
To finally felling
The other eventually
Leaning towards each
Other becoming one
In the forest
Try not to
Worry about the
Things that appear
Important that you
Lost instead focus
On the things
Presented gifts are
Gifts whether they’re
Wrapped in pretty
Ribbons or plucked
From a bouquet
Revel in surprise
Be humble with
Everything you get
And don’t worry
About those silly
Things you lost
In life as
In love what
You end up
With is less
About what you
Want and more
About what you
Need don’t waste
Your precious life
Chasing desire and
Instead be a
Loving magnet for
Then those in
Need of that
Will simply always
Come to you
Do not tease
Me for I
Will bark and
Growl do not
Poke me for
I will lunge
Do not tease
Me for I
Will strike quickly
Instead soothe me
For my words
Are venom meant
To cause paralysis
