plastic kisses stolen in paper snow
Plastic kisses thieved
in a silent night city,
stretched upon teeth of frosted paper snow.
Fierce yellow lamps muted,
snow drizzle dimmed in hazy glow.
Singsong fashion laughter sung light,
hand squeezing mine, clinging on tight.
Limbs jingle-jangle jelly
slip-sliding on the hem
of winter’s pretty lace.
Manic feet stumble
giggling, grappling, flailing
all Bambi caught in blaring headlights.
One moment, OUR moment,
time all frozen still,
breath steamed
pink ice-frosted cheeks,
tasting Jack Daniel’s lips
behind closed eyes.
All mine…..
if only just for now.
All the sorrys
for what you
cannot give
placed upon my fingertips,
burnt there by lips
that do not speak
of wanted tomorrows.
“I’ll steal you”,
“I’ll steal you”,
I chant to my self,
the kid of can’t haves
fighting thick
grabbing what’s not their’s.
I’m taking this hand,
loves vice grip,
never letting go.
You smell like you want me,
whisper what i think, with your eyes.
Many moments robbed by us,
placed in my memory box
sealed forever shut with
tangible, lingering ghost kisses,
their sweetness unbittered
by mourning not meant to Be’s
