I WOULD LIKE TO BE KISSED

 

               I would like to be kissed

              With fiery passion

              But with a little bit of tenderness

              And a dash of action.

 

              I would like to be kissed

              In a blanket of flowers

              Where the sweetness that surrounds

              Will last for hours and hours.

 

              I would like to be kissed

              Under the velvet night

              With the gay, twinkling little stars

              Providing the only light.

 

              I would like to be kissed

              Before the day’s end

              So that when I shall fall asleep

              I dream of my kisses

              Again…..

                 …..and again.

LOVE RECTANGLE

(based on a true story)

 

 

I was once told

That love is very confusing

That even with its 1-syllable, 4-letter word

   simplicity

It really is an utterly complicated

Mind boggling theory.

 

It can drive people crazy

But then the next minute they’re glad

And then they’d get crazy again

Which also drove even the smart people crazier

Because no matter how they put their brains together

They still can’t figure out this thing called love.

 

I just laughed at all that

For I never heard such a thing

I mean that was an impeccable thing to say

For a thing dealt with every single day.

 

But then I became witness to this

And saw for myself how confounding love can be

But it’s more heart-baffling than it is with the mind

When a sad ending happened to me.

 

One day which seemed rather ordinary

A friend whom I thought was nothing more

Asked me to become part of his life;

I said I was already in it as I was his friend

But he said that wasn’t what he was asking for.

 

He meant that he wanted me

To be his one and only special someone

And that put me in deep trouble

For I only wanted us to be friends

Since the beginning till the end.

 

Next day came without much help

For I haven’t told my friend yet

That love could never happen between us

And that it would be good if we all just forget.

 

So I head to his house

With all my guts left

When suddenly I ran into this guy

Who had the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen

And then I knew that this was it,

This was the man of my dreams!

 

He gave me the most adorable smile

That could melt the ice off the Artic

Or even flood the waters of the Nile

For his grin was perfect and I loved it!

 

He’s my destiny,

I could feel it in my heart!

But my fastest pumping muscle

Only deceived me into believing that

And now I am so torn apart.

 

For my one true love

Was actually on his way

To ask for the hand of a maiden

Who captured his heart

And kept it locked away

Inside her own

As to never keep them apart.

 

So ends my tragedy

In this love-crazed world

For I had loved a guy

But he loved another girl

And someone offered me his love

But I didn’t want to take it.

 

Why can’t I just twist my fate,

And turn things the other way around?

That instead of the guy who gave me love

Yet I didn’t love him

Would become the guy who I loved

And would offer me his love, too.

 

Why is it that when you love someone,

He loves somebody else;

While somebody else loves you,

You’d rather still love somebody else?

 

So now I’m finally seeing

How bizarre this whole thing is,

And I guess it will always be confusing

For I shall never figure out

This thing called love.

 

YOU

          

            “You ugly thing!”

             She angrily screamed.

            “Why were you ever born?!

             You should have died

             In your mother’s womb

             For you brought nothing but scorn!”

 

            “You’re such a loser!”

             She said in a sputter.

            “That you can’t even get your folks

             To show you any love

             And nobody cares if you die

              I bet nobody would even cry!”

 

             “You can’t do anything right!”

              She ranted and raved

              And shrieked all night.

             “You’re messed up and screwed,

               I hate you!

               I hate you!”

 

              And with one strong shove

              She lifted the chair

              And hurled it at the mirror

              In front of her.

 

*Life will eventually get better, believe me…
