Love is the front line that each of us needs to face.
___
I’m going over the top:
white flag in one hand,
cock in the other.
After too long
in this defensive trench
I’m ready to bite all bullets;
stand in the firing line;
take the heat.
No more pot shots,
or lobbing bombs
across the gender divide.
Forgoing any future skirmishes,
I’m ready to meet you naked
in the middle of no man’s land,
and kiss you.
