Sunny Day in Manchester | by Olumide Holloway

Kisses.
Warm, hot, non-stop kisses.
All over, head to toe.
I’m sweating, not shivering.
I might soon be wet all over.
Drenched in all the kisses it will bring.

Kisses.
Feeling it all over.
Warm, hot, non-stop kisses.
I’m probably overdressed for the kisses.
But I shouldn’t complain.
So let’s just enjoy it, 
and not endure it. Kisses.
Now it’s getting bothersome.
I was dressed for the cold.
But now I’m sun-kissed 
or is it kissed by the Sun.
Warm, hot, non-stop kisses. 
I can’t complain, 
I’ve been cold for too long
