Peter's Probationary Poems - 7. Kiss

Orlando made me speechless. Yet I couldn't stay silent.

Kiss

 

A token of affection

So natural and free

A moment of connection

For all the world to see

 

Love is all around us

And boys and girls can show

For no one makes a big fuss

When it makes them glow

 

A token of affection

So natural and free

Is seen as pure perfection

When it’s John and Marie

 

No heads are being turned

Nor do they have to fear

Their touches are not spurned

And nobody does sneer

 

A token of affection

So natural and free

Then why is there objection

When he kisses me?

 

Our love is just the same

As that of girl and boy

And we will not let shame

Have our love destroy

 

A token of affection

So natural and free

Should meet with no rejection

So please, my love, kiss me.

Oh, I'm so glad to see a poem from you!!
Orlando was horrific and it may have caused us to stumble but they won't stop us being ourselves and demanding equal rights.
Your poem is lovely. It is sweet and simple but the feeling and meaning is unmistakable.
Good to see you.

I agree with Tim, it's so nice to see you posting again. I hope you feel the love on this site for you :)

 

And I agree with Gary, the poem sings with truth.

 

I think this is an important poem because it questions assumptions about the paradigm, but does so simply by asking for one to place themselves in the shoes of another.

 

It's a beautiful poem, and highly successful too. Thanks for posting it!

A kiss...such a simple, normal thing, yet it is not. If I feel like it, I do it anyway. But sometimes I just want to kiss - without anyway. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, tim, for your kind words.

I live in a country where we do have equal rights, at least according to the law.

What needs to be fought for is that those rights are not just granted on paper, but become self-evident. I'm afraid that there's a long way to go before that goal is reached.

Thank you, Al ... and I do feel the love, which is -I have to admit to my shame- not always fully reciprocated.

 

I have come to accept the fact that my partner doesn't appreciate public display of affection. I don't like it and it grieves me. I hope there once will be a time when it becomes not just tolerated, but experienced as normal.

 

I'm very glad you liked the poem and thanks for not giving up on me.

"without anyway". Those two words summarise what I was trying to say. You are a wise man, Adi. Thanks for your review.
