the first kiss was the greatest

the first kiss was the greatest
halfway in a sentence
with sparks and flares
you head over high heels
me head over hoofs

than came the routine
a kiss when I go to work
a kiss before we are having sex
a kiss before we fight
a kiss to say goodbye

the small hours
between me and you
drew iron curtains
to detach my peace of mind
from your dry face

and I wonder
why does your mouth
utter no adorable word
