A Football Love Poem

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Your kisses reign
Like Fontaine’s goals
Like Matthew’s ghost
You race
Across the pitches of my soul
Like Bestie, full of grace

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Your laces twist
Around my thoughts
Like Roger Milla’s hips
Between the goalposts
Of my heart
Like Jairzhino you slip

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 You’re Neeskens, Netto
Gunter Netzer
Finney down the wings
You’re Jinky Johnstone
Teasing Inter
Round me running rings

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 This love it thunders
Beckenbauer
Like Banksie’s hands
It saves
My Denis Law my Cantona
My Boca Junior Babe

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 You burst my brain
A Gerrard shot
Like Muller’s goals
You blitz
The target of my ragged wall
With zonal marking bliss

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Your golden hair
In Mexican waves
Your eyes Azurri blue
I’m all played out
At fever pitch
Nutmegged by dreams of you.
