Just a kiss, maybe?

A poem for Poetry day. 21 March.

Just a kiss, maybe?

I told the sad woman in the tavern.

Love is fleeing moments, we cannot catch.

Catching love is is like trying to catch a falling leave, in the late September.

Need luck or a miracle to grasp and keep.

The bar poet told the pretty Texas gal.

Love is just myth and tale for the most of us.

Love cannot be held prisoner, love must be given.

It is like when the sun-kiss on our face.

We must appreciate.

Once you asked for, just a kiss.

I told you, if I kissed you.

I would want more kisses.

She smiled and she whispered.

Dear bar-poet.

Just a kiss, Maybe?

love must be given...not taken.. and a kiss is just a kiss (some song) a fleeting moment like a leaf falling from a tree....I like the way you distinguish love which should last... and a kiss is a maybe??? it doesn't have the deep free feeling of love..you contrast and compare the two very well john....Best,
B.

I like the title and it is has an impact as the ending. I especially like these lines..’Love cannot be held prisoner, love must be given. It is like when the sun-kiss on our face’
So true my friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Ladysue. We need the kind sun to touch our face daily and the offer of a kiss, near.

Some of the best poets are the bar poets, singing to make the time go away.

One kiss can lead to another and then another and maybe another. Who knows where one kiss can lead too. All love starts somewhere. A kiss can certainly put a smile on a sad face. Thank you Coyote for your poem for poetry day on 21st March.

"We must remember this...a kiss is just a kiss...as time goes on." I enjoyed reading this. It brought me a smile this morning, John. Thanks for sharing the poetry, my friend. Well done.

Beware of those single kisses because they can add up quickly...and that is what makes it fun. A wonderful tale my friend.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Will for reading and the comment. I agree. One kiss can lead to many more.
