Jung celebrated the synchronicity, but never asked the beetle about its dream. If he had, the poor creature would have told him he'd dreamt of #kissing a beautiful cockroach. He didn't want to know what it meant though, wasn't into psychoanalysis, he wanted help to find his amour.

a farewell #kiss—
the goodbye arrives to carry me off,
but the world curves like lips,
leaning always back into her.

Fire rips through Edo, unmoors the ancient city, and sets the floating world adrift. A dragon ascendant #kisses the sky with smoke and flame. First Courtesan Kokorohime, gems concealed in her kimono, slips through a narrow #lacuna in her guards' vigilance. She disappears into a world beyond. #vss365

Did she imagine it? The brush of his lips against her flushed cheek, the desire in those whispered words, the smile that lingered. Was he toying with her? She watches as he greets his other guests. How lovely to see you, he repeats, but the kiss, the kiss was for her alone.

I hear you within
dusks silence.
I taste you
upon it’s rain.
I smell you
in it’s breeze.
As you linger
soft against
my face.
I #kiss you
under starlight.
As they
traverse across
night skies.
For this
is the place
where I belong.
Right here
amongst your
stars.

call her child
our #lips a prism to cast
for bright & blind
a kind justice
strands dyed to match the shade spun by girlhood
(woody notes

& daughters

& fathers
(couldn’t)
speak now

The truth was, he looked like a boy she’d loved in a previous life. So when she #kissed him, she felt guilty. She bit her tongue so she wouldn’t say the wrong name. But then—he called her by a different name. One from long ago.
“You finally caught up to me,” he whispered.

I wish that I had kept
a catalog of kisses
the big ones - first kiss
terror then sunken bliss
last kiss - so bittersweet
and all the ones in between
every little peck and
full-throated ravishing
your fair cheek a perfect pad
for a thousand lovestruck
stamps of approval

Ken joined the queue to #kiss the Blarney stone. The long wait would be well worth it. Once he had the gift of the gab he would be suave, sophisticated and irresistible to women. But little Billy Flynn with his tube of super glue ruined that plan, and the scarring never did heal properly.

A signal of affection
We go out of our way
To show our love
Sometimes it's real
Sometimes it's duckmouth air kissing
Sometimes a wave and a kiss on Facetime
Sometimes the gentle passing by of old aged lovers
A kiss in passing
For the young
The kiss involves a fire
Of tongues embracing
A signal of affection
We go out of our way
To show our love
Sometimes it's real
Sometimes it's duckmouth air kissing
Sometimes a wave and a kiss on Facetime
Sometimes the gentle passing by of old aged lovers
A kiss in passing
For the young
The kiss involves a fire
Of tongues embracing
