Shall We

Shall we smile similes
like snow sculptures melting
on a pink sand beach or like

pearls glistening in the summer
heat
Shall we fall in love

metaphorically of course
for love is swans drowning
peacefully or to be less obscene

is a dream
in crosshatched colors
a Candy-Land board come to life.

Shall we utter our
meaningless nouns and verbs
simply to be heard

or shall we close our lips
and kiss
for in the end
love is the epitome of bliss.
