I, thief

‘Not in public, I’ve told you!’
And so
I turn into thief
steal kisses
away from curious eyes
lip-ink that disappears
on cheek-paper
love-giving that’s for giver
in the perfect robbery
where victim loses nothing
in the soft oblivion
of the nothing given
and taken.

  4. It is an ancient poem. of daughters out-growing cuddle-need and kiss-need. and fathers looking for consolation prizes.

  5. I suppose it's the plight of all fathers. But the comfort of a father's cuddle cannot be compensated through other means, we realize it in mid-life...
