A kiss is still a kiss
regardless of his age
hearts leap in excitement
the blood pressure rage.
Eyes locked with emotion
pulse rising with heat
he's ready to kiss her
but there's food in his teeth.
removing his dentures
he winks and he smile
she blush and she cringes
like a small helpless child.
She's lost in his love
and she still wonders why.
she's thinks to herself
'he's such an old fool'.
His hands shake in anticipation
all wrinkled and weary
lips curled at the corner
his eyes glazed and teary.
his heartbeat is racing
he clutches his chest
but wouldn't you know it
it's pure nervousness.
after years of great loving
and their youths have flown by
they still adore one another
until death do they die.
they've planted their roots
and the stakes are now high
he'd better hurry and kiss her
before time passes by.
he's a son of a gun
though he's lost every tooth.
they fell one by one
before they took root.
yet he doesn't despise
those memories are gone
so he puckers his mouth
and pushes right on.
as he breaks out in sweat
she shuts her blue eyes
he inhales a deep breath
much to his sweethearts surprise
then leaning in closer
he plants a sweet kiss
stars burst in their eyes
the moment pure bliss
he drools and he hiccups
and shes flushed with delight
and the old son of a gun
went to heaven that night.

Diamond at her very best. A storyteller's story. It has all the elements truth, fiction, youthful clumsiness, and the wisdom of the experienced but above all it’s entertaining. It’s a Diamond by Diamond. ---- Thank you.

this has great rhymthm and it is very lyrical. the rhyme was lost in the end of the first stanza and hind if threw it off beat, but the second stanza picked up and got right back into flow. the rhymes are simple and make the piece easy to read. the humor in this is great. it has just the right amount. this is a fun write and your talent shines here.
