    Kissing salt
    (For GMC 5/5/15)

    Tangled together
    Legs and sheet and arms
    Hearts slowing,
    breaths steadying
    A cloud of curls in my eyes

    Lips by my ear
    Words I've waited to hear
    (And say)
    Fear and Joy trickle
    As lips kiss the salt away

    The best poem I've read in a while.

    I like it.I personally write more song lyrics than poetry.There are parallels between the two forms but also many differences.

    Beautiful. Anne Sexton wrote a book of love poems - your poetry is as good as hers (IMO)

    Seriously?
    Just stop reading my posts, okay?
    We disagree. We both have that right.
    Shalom.

    For the actual responders, thank you.
    Even after years of my writing being published, my poetry, and song lyrics, have been more private. It wasn't easy to post them.

    I just like making smart-ass comments every so often when the opportunity arises. I'm not trying to "get you" or target you or anything.

    I guess you are very sensitive about your poem, or suspicious of me, or both. It was intended to be funny, not offensive.
