I made a list of all our kisses, starting with just ‘kiss’
Which in the heat of passion was italicized like this:
kiss, then emphasized in variations Kiss! and KISS and KISS
Which even though ethereal somehow added to our bliss.
And later in IM we found that we could really KISS!
I mean in theory still, of course, for physically we missed
The real touch of real lips and autres choses on that list.
And there were funny graphics, I can’t reproduce them here,
But you know the ones we used a lot, they all meant kisses there
The hearton built with < and 3, which always made you smile
And the asterisks and emoticons we used once in a while
And let’s not forget those x’s which a net of crosses wove
*** and xxxx, our ******* book of love.
Soon added to our kisses came words like longingly,
And tenderly, and lingeringly and gentle morningly
Sometimes we gave it lots of tongue, but loving nibbles too
Whenever I’d le pout or tears your lashes would bedew.
These are the ones I can recall, probably there are more
I’m sure you’re itching to remind me from your memory’s vast store
And you can tell me all about them in some poetry well versed
But my love, before you write it, you’ll just have to kiss me first.

what does it feel like
for those obsessed fans
in fervent devotion and attention
to the subjects of their adoration
can't be easy, me thinks
especially when caught
between their fixation
and what it says about them

even more puzzling is the fact
not for them buying and playing idols music
or just simmering lustfully over photo shopped posters
or even hanging round venues
in hope of a sight or a touch
No these obsessed fans I know
live in a mind or not of their own

day and night their minds occupied
looking, talking, imagining, projecting
fantasizing, objectifying and pontificating
totally consumed to the point of crassness
and we ain't talking children here

what's so laughable though
they spend valuable time and efforts
writing litanies and absurd proses
hourly, daily,' morningly' and deep duskily
wow, not even Jagger or Paul McCartney
gets such attention
some call them stalkers or raving loonies
I say same difference
