Sparkles
For Wendy.
Wasn’t sure how to tell you this,
to tell you you’ve been kissed
without you knowing it.
It’s as clear as crystal;
you bear the mark of a
faithful, secret lover.
The angels recognise his seal
(and the demons quiver);
A lip-shaped stamp on
your waxy heart
(signature of the spirit-lover).
And when you kiss towards
him, (as you daily do),
he can’t resist but
bound through the skins of heaven,
sneak in through your window,
(like a thief to steal his prize)
and, in return, plant an
inside-out kiss,
a deep down core-kiss to make you
sparkle.
