kiss from my granddaughter

she knows to kiss

and many kisses on my cheeks

she has stamped

and that too lovingly

so from her

i plead for a kiss

holding her closer

to my wrinkled face

she licks my face

as if painting with her tongue

and then giggles

as if, now, it’s done

trending in my mind

these days, and cold nights

of winter, you trend in my mind

where i see my fingers sailing

on your long, silky black hair

that covers my face as my nostrils

sniff and squeeze gently sprinkled

fragrance on your whole body

like that red rose in full bloom

even as my lips search to kiss

your forehead where the waves

dark are parted before moving

to your eyes and tip of the nose
