I kiss my wife a thousand times a day
A brief rise-and-shine awake peck
A pre-toothbrush foggy greet
The first glance of the day
Of many that repeat until we submit to sleep again
Kisses are not just for soft lips
They are given from blessed finger tips
From flashed eyes and salty tears
My words trip as kisses from my tongue
I kiss my wife a thousand times a day
I kiss her with a smile
That’s shared between just us two
Or a glass raised in a public salute
My kisses brush her hollowed back
Through my palm poised and steady
I hold her close and near to me
Each kiss is more than a token of my love
It is a reaffirming badge
I kiss her with a smile.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
