Puerto Rican Honey On a Philistine Battlefield (I [By Accident] Kissed a Girl and I Liked It)





OMFG – OH MY FREAKIN GORSH!!!! For the first time in thirteen years….I kissed a girl (by accident, trust me...was NOT expecting this tonight) AND I LIKED IT!!!! --((SORRY KATY PERRY!!)) OMFG!!!! Fireworks have been set off in my heart right now, albeit in an enigmatic, ambiguous sense; You see, I didn’t mean to kiss this girl at all…the situation and sequence of events is complicated….and I cant delve into or disclose any of the details to safeguard anonymity of said person (…because she has a man, and didn’t intentionally seek out this result), BUT MAN!!! I FELT AS IF MY LEGS WERE GOING TO GIVE WAY! (Im practically shaking now!) Ahhhh  the anguish, the distress of soul! I wanted to wait until marriage for a kiss and now THIS!!!! I see stars! Im punch drunk! I didn’t even put chapstick on! Sheesh!  What could this mean? Why am I sharing this by the way? CAUSE IM A POET/BLOGGER – AND MY FOLLWERS WOULD BE LIVID IF I DIDN’T FIND SOME WAY TO POETICIZE AND ROMANTICIZE THIS OCCURRENCE! Man my heart is beating with abandon! Swoon swoon! I feel like I will faint soon if I keep dwelling on this!



---------------------------/Puerto Rican Honey On a Philistine Battlefield

I think, V, my love life before kissing you was a Philistine battle
sharpening my spears of resentment against soldiers of singleness raging
my skin full of scabs (from scars) of female rejection
eyes darkened, brow thick and primordial bitter retaliation my only intent
daggers (of wit) flung on the plains, daggers (of paranoia) in my palm
ready to roll my eyes reflexively at any girl who looked at me askance
hatred
I would hurt your emotions before you hurt mine romance was self defense
Dichotomizing sexes Jew vs Gentile Innocent vs guilty loved vs lovelorn
dating is an oath sworn to curse vulnerability and happiness
for thirteen years going on infinity
to forsake trust until I could be avenged of mine enemies
until I came upon someone who wouldn’t diss me to play games
deriving merriment from my pain

your lips soft, the war is won

I was carrying a rod of secret desire
perhaps subconsciously seeking something sweet to offset the sour
your presence
your soul, your black hair, olive complexion sweet,
your sass sticky, when I gaze into your eyes its like putting my hands in my mouth
enlightened
one kiss to revolutionize thought reinvigorate the mind prostrate the heart
I have tasted honey…and I don’t know if I or love
will ever be the same



----------------1 Samuel 14:24-29
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food. And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground. And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath. But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint. Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.


----Kiss Me Lyrics


Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

[Chorus:]
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

[Chorus (repeat)]
