And So I Kiss You.

And So I Kiss You.

You behaved like a child,

moody, mardy and petulant.

You tried to win me over,

as a child does,

making faces, acting cute.

You knew you were in the wrong,

that you had upset me

and that my serious nature,

filled with logic and shapes,

left me feeling let down.

But you, gentle creature,

could not apologise,

face the certainty of facts.

No it is hard to be me,

cutting my own wrists.

Another myth to fit with your fairy tales,

your fantasies

that life has to be without stain.

We argue this point, you and me

but that is just you in my eyes;

simply a beautiful soul

who wants so hard to believe in ethereal creatures;

to hold on to the safety and the innocence of childhood.

I watch as you walk slowly to me,

trying to lighten my mood as you gaze doe like

up into my eyes as if to penetrate my soul

and inject the ink of guilt straight into my heart.

But I know you oh so well

and I love you to my own distraction,

so as you slide your hand across my chest

I let myself melt into you.

As you nuzzle my cheek,

and stand on tip toes to kiss my mouth

I relax and flow with you.

Then I push away your entreats,

playfully, as if to say

“Oh no you don’t, you can’t win so easily.”

You feel these spats destructive,

whereas I just see the ebb and flow

of living close to your injured breast;

and I treasure each and every moment.

I frown at you one last time

then fall into your pleading eyes

in gratitude for the existence

of your juvenile, soft spirit.

“Come here.” you command me.

“Shhhhhhh!....don’t argue….”

you whisper in husky triumph.

“Come here,

come,

come kiss me.”

And I do.

Oh my, what a beautiful, stripped bare, heart felt story, in the form of a subtle, well written poem.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Again I am in your debt 'M' for such a generous review. This poem was a reposte to the poem written by another writer in the Cafe.
