Kissss Poem by Patti Masterman

Kiss, kissss we say
We blow dragonfly kisses
In the air
We wave from the mountaintops
At each other
All my secrets rest within you
All your past pain abides with me
Helpmates, we pass the hours away
In each others capable presence
You are the merman deep in the lagoon
I am the mermaid who always swoons
To find herself in the blowing breeze again
Then, a descent back to the depths of complexity:
I search only for your hands
And I kiss them again and again.
