10,000 Kisses

10,000 Kisses

How long does it take to administer 10,000 kisses

my son I can’t stop putting my lips to your skin

and all the world goes away

but for our world

for my world

and for what your world must be

there is nothing else

but softness between two

and pressure…yes greedy pressure

to become you

and for you to become me

I take you in by breath and by touch

I hold your softness

precious

and tight

you are my reason

reason above all else

and I can’t help but wonder how

man murders

I can’t remember my other life

only like looking back at something

I once knew

was familiar

I can sense it’s heaviness

but it has no place for me now

like mist

and I can’t believe I used to live there

10,000 kisses for my son –

I Proclaim – of course it can be done

10,000 pieces of my heart to his

10,000 moments of pure bliss

10,000 smacks on the softest cheeks

10,000 nudges on babies feet

10,000 kisses for my son

10,000 kisses it will be done
