Kiss Poetic Bloomings

 Kissless

 

If losing his ability to walk well

and talk clearly weren’t bad enough,

since his strokes, my husband

lost some control of emotions.

 

He cries when touched

by sermon or song

and giggles and laughs

when he’s delighted.

 

So when I kiss him,

he fairly explodes

and spits in my face

and kills the mood.

 

So I kiss him on his head

his ears, his neck

but not on the lips,

unless I catch him off guard

and get a quick one in.
