a single pure white petal hits my check
unexpectingly cool upon my face
it feels as if a single tear fell from my eye so green
it's as if it fell to remind me of what it is like to be touched or kissed upon my cheek
its been so long
startles me to feel something there
I am reminded of the kisses of eyelashes upon my skin so soft
lips full
cool upon the skin
cooling to my heated heart
lips that could have never stayed too long
disarming fingers that would trace my germanic jaw-line from
my ear
down my chin
to my full
pouting
anticipating
lips
I kissed your fingertips.
they waved goodbye

Her lips of so long ago... I forget how they tasted
forget the taste of her breathe as she exhaled so silently.
I wonder now,
where do your lips now frown
or smile so fully?
I wonder when does the sun shine upon those eyes I once looked to for assurence.
How's Greg? Do you have kids yet? I bet they are sweet.
I wonder not of desire or longing...
I know you are a different you and me... I dont know me.
I wonder cause my heart is easy
and I care too easy
touch my heart and your finger-print will forever stay.
this delicate heart has moved on so many years ago
but these falling petals remind me of all kisses past

These lips
these lips of yours I think of now... the lips I see before me.
The ones I long to taste
to close my eyes
smell your skin
and feel your pulse as it moves through your heart.
I want to know you
hear the poems in your head
the laughter from your heart.
who knows if you want to taste the salt on my tongue
see my smile in the morning
hear me sing in your ear as you drift to sleep beside me
I want to sing every poem
every wish

I look up now to where from the petal fell
bleach white tops of trees line the path ahead
so many tears to fall
so many kisses to taste
so far to go.

happy spring

this is by far my favorite "musing." it's beautiful.
