KISS KISS HELLO

(For my wife V.J Harley and my kids Elmer, Abel and Loui)

 

1.

Kiss kiss hello

of all the mad chicks

you are the one

 

‘got lipstick on my soul

smeared out Harleys

revving for more

 

the olive that you bit

the pit you spat in my drink

foreplay you called it

porn at The Ritz

 

it feels like only a minute ago

you slept on my chest

and I dared not move

as if love was a bird

and the slightest shiver would

you know

 

no one will ever love you like I love you 

 

2.

 

Hey kids hello

dad’s on telly

inches apart

 

nothing but light between us

this way the dust

that way the dust

 

your wounds heals faster than I

I’d kiss them if I’d catch them

water under bridge

dad’s life is tangled in branches

 

it feels like only a minute ago

you slept on my chest 

and I dared not move

as if love was a bird

and the slightest shiver would

you know

 

no one will ever love you like I love you
