Two children The little boy stands bashfully The little girl hands him Freshly picked flowers A kiss from the boy to the girl’s cheek
Two teenagers The girl chews gum and twirls her hair The boy arrives with his car She smiles and gets in A kiss and then they’re off.
Two people The woman is full of bruises The man has scratches But fewer than the bruises She cries and tries to leave He throws her to the ground A kiss good night before he locks the door.
Two lovers The lady shines from an inner glow The gentleman smiles proudly of a secret He takes her hand He bends down on one knee She squeals with delight A long, loving kiss to confirm the answer.
Two people An older woman straights the hair A younger woman sits nervously It is a new beginning The music starts far away A kiss to say goodbye “Ms.”
One person A sad woman Sighing Where has her heart gone? A surprise He is right behind her. A tear of joy A kiss to seal the reunion
Two people An elderly woman An elderly man They sit quietly on the porch swing They think of days gone by They hold hands A kiss to say “I’m still here”
One person A bouquet of roses Tears falling down her cheek A granite stone sits before her “Beloved Husband to the end” She smiles A kiss on the rose before placing them down.
This is one of my UA poems. Written 1-31-2011. I thought about how the concept of love means something different to many people. Whether that is actually love or not is up for interpretation. However, I've heard someone call situations like this "love".
