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...

Its a pretty cool poem actually. It's a bit more abstract than the average love poem, but it is an interesting idea. Football and love, not two ideas I would automatically put together. Good job, well done

i liked it alot, great flow and ace story telling

[ShameemAkhtar]

ok,

the football is metaphoric only... :)

What I tried to portray in this is an unflinching, one-sided love where the person is more than happy to accept that he cannot force the other person to love him back.

But irrespective, the harder she tries to push him away, with greater resolve he comes back (like the football kicked in the air), helpless at the laws of nature...

It's better to be kicked away than to just ignore the ball and let it die down... :)

I would never have thought there was any connection between football and kisses...

Football and love. A wide highway apart. I do like the desire and concept of this poem. Made me smile this morning. A excellent poem.
