I’m a bit tearful thinking of it
but had some wine and that puts me in touch with what I’m feeling.
When my heart and head collide and fit.
Sorry, yes, it’s embarrassing.

Tough as nails I’m gonna drive it home.
Laying on the floor I’m ready to give in.
Writers everywhere have their favourite illiterate reader riddled with sin.
Tips for everyone serving a glassful of tonic with a nothing of gin.

This is the heart of the matter
as a matter of the heart:
I’m full of fear about the future today
and the future is full of fear that I’ve stayed up too late to not let tomorrow have its say.

Today was World Kissing Day.
We kissed all day.
You put me in a good mood and me you.
This poem isn’t about anyone but you.
