"Speak plainly, poet,"
you say with a laugh,
and my words fly
like startled birds
so I kiss you.
Once-
quickly-
before you can speak.
Twice-
deeply-
until we sink
to the ground together,
and our lips' simple couplet
says more
than a sky full of verse.

This piece speaks to the (closet romantic) poet within me, as well as the (closet romantic) poetry reader, Mama.
Something we've thought and longed for.
Truth in that and agreed by the cat.
Now, THAT is how a kiss is meant to be. What a wonderful little poem so packed with awesomeness!!
xo
oh..those lips can say so much...hmmmm...love it..
The best kind of couplet :)
Absolutly!
Ahhh... yes indded. Nuff said that no words can best. :)
couplet lips - cool!
Poets always kiss in couplets--unless it's a sonnet of course. Loved the alive feel to this, MZ.
yes they do! great picture of love
Never turned down a coupling that sprang from a couplet. Lips rock!
This is so wonderfully done, the affection, emotion, and that image at the beginning as the words fly.. Brilliant!
Superb! I can feel it all! Brilliant indeed, MZ!

Just great! You've spun quite a little narrative into this one. Wonderfully direct and fun.

Speaking the international language. Nice one, Mama Z!

Actions always speak louder than words, baby! ****!
Short and sweet with a hot poker of a point implied. LOVE!
Sometimes there is no need for words - this is marvellous
Stunning!

This is truly beautiful Mama Zen.
It's amazing how a few simple words can illustrate such a romantic scenario. Well done.

Once quickie, twice deeply. Ooh la la. Love this playfully romantic piece.
Those lips say more than any poet can write. :)
Now that's a kiss!
I have to admit... as I read this I literally could feel the urge for my love to come home and release the feelings I felt reading this;)
You know it's great poetry when you feel something like that ;)

It takes some cold skill to make me feel romantic...lol
