Green Stolen Kisses

That we may kiss again, 

under a canopy of green

Leaving all our vanities

behind, in the land of

crumbling bricks and 

mortar 

The smell of petrichor,

Earthly rivers, flowing

like tender hands -

placed around a Hillish 

waist, where I wait

for the flock of lambs

I won't be silenced

And my cawing love

will burst the breast

Beakish and craving,
intensely, always 

almost too much 

Then there will be a slumber,

as the ants go about

their work, and the bees

of burden do Hiveish 

things 

While we go off to pick

the fruit. 

Reviews

I am blown away by the metaphoric and descriptive nature of this...
If only we could leave our vanities behind...it is quite the interference.

Jacob, thank you so much for the kind review. I genuinely appreciate you giving your time up to have a read of my humble poem! I hope to return the favour later on this evening.

A great write. I love almost too much. Thanks for pasting

[Thomas Emile Vaughen]

Thank you for the kind words, Ranger. I hope I can repay them with a review of your work soon.

This was hauntingly beautiful like a hymn to a remembered love or a promise that becomes a prayer. The fruit must taste sweet indeed, drawing the ants and bees. Wonderful work. F.
