Kisses of Milk Chocolate
for H.T.

as if I were sweet Swiss chocolate
way she lets sweet kisses fall

upon face or neck, here or there
when we greet

wonder about the girl at her core
met her before

she exists still after decades, after aeons

how has she survived, how has she kept her alive
girl in her and the boy in me comes out as well

wanting to meet to go out, stay out possibly

as it should be, as it would be were we to agree
to be together
indefinitely,
eternally
