A Salty Kiss

Bernard Gabriel Okurut

 

Harden your heart not,

River-like, let the love flow.

Touch me the old places,

The pores of my skin your hands by name know.

 

Save me from this love limbo,

My heart longs for only yours.

Kiss me a salty kiss,

That kiss I have found on no other

mortal lip.

 

Stop me not from falling 

Into your river that runs deep,

But kiss me a salty kiss

And let me drown in my sleep.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Love is such a mystery...But a very beautiful thing for those who seek and find it. It heals the wounds inflicted upon us by time. It makes us appreciate the gift of life.
