Poetry Sunday

This is our last Poetry Sunday offering for September, and as the days get shorter and the nights longer, colder, and darker, a bit of romantic poetry can help keep us warm and mellow ...

forgive me for the parts of you i'm yet to kiss

by Ifeanyi Ogbo

i used to think there was only one part of 

the body meant for kisses,

but on your body I discovered a thousand places.

you were born naked so I could clothe you with kisses, 

my lips were made to adorn every inch of 

the landscape of your skin.

kisses on places you'll never want your mother 

to read about,

sinful actions too holy for confession.

and when we finally merge into one 

my body memorizing every part of yours

i discover there are ways to visit heaven without dying.

If you have someone to keep you warm and loved, you are richly blessed.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
