A Kiss

Certain creatures
love too much,
I think.

Such as the black widow spider,
who eats her mate
after sex. Now that's love extreme.

And what about the praying mantis
who bites the head from her irresistible
lover. Yes, love is scrumptious.

Then there is the deadly stalker scorpion
who after dancing the promenade à deux
and, you know, the eventual venomous sex,
 her guy must run not to be eaten.
Question:  Is it possible to care too much for another?

I say, WHOA,
Creatures,
restrain your selves.
                      I’m telling all ye Earth’s cannibals
" those who lovest excessively too much"
please, why don't cha cool it already?
                      Slow down,
 just let me tell you ‘bout the invention of the kiss.
It’s a useful device.

O this may sound really preachy
but when I am keen on another,
instead of digesting them,
a kiss is as far as I tend to proceed.

A kiss moves on like stopping short,
A kiss proceeds like stepping on the breaks,
A kiss can adequately suppresses an appetite.

So,
Creatures, I know you get carried away
"love can do that"
But try the kiss,
it’s not too bad.

Oh, and don't eat.
