Kiss Me

Wrap me up

Wrap me up
And warp my soul

Make me into a football

and when I am round enough
kiss me with your foot

Kick me
and watch me rise
as I threaten to resist
and fly away

Enjoy
Enjoy as I follow the laws
the laws of physics
and projectile motion

Watch in glee
As nature breaks my self-esteem
and my stride

Rub your hands
then your feet
as I come to a halt
in mid air

Jump
Jump and shout
as I return to earth
with increasing speed

And then shout
Shout in horror as I come closer to you
Panic
and run for shelter

Curse me
Curse me for all the words you know
Threaten me
Threaten to send me rising again

And look in horror
as I smile

Kiss me sweetheart

so what if it's only with your feet?

Author's Note

Did not recall having written that until I came across this today. In retrospective after reading this I can only laugh. What the hell was I thinking? People might think I am sadomasochist...

No comments really...

i understand. i would say that more than half of the things i write in my journal are written in some outer body experience, of which i rarely have recollection - some humorous, some frightening, some sad.

this one is very entertaining and leaves me wondering.......

i like it!

[STAR CHILD]

oh what a tragedy this is

[Jeremy Baker]

Unusual and hard hitting representations. I think the opening stanza is superb, although they are all quite excellent. One of my favourites!

I chuckled with the last two lines... in recognition and understanding.

A fair work.

Was this written by a Younger You ? .. Was there a heart that broke when kicked ? .... pray tell .. Why do you now laugh at your own words ? ..

Interesting ... Jasmine

[Invisible Ink]

perfect! love it! I never thought of sport in such a beautiful way, or painful to the heart!

[stars are far]

ok this was nice

Maybe subconsciously you just want to be loved as much as he loves his football lol, a little pain always helps the pleasure seem all the sweeter. love the imagery and the use of descriptive text. Keep em' coming

Okay, I'm starting to developed a sort of love/hate/whatthehelldidIjstread relationship with your poems. The last two were very good... And this one just struck me as a terribly squandered opprotunity. The image of the football made me snort with laughter. Definitely not one of your stronger pieces.

Totally bizarre but made me smile.
