Ruairi McNally

Ruairi was born in the city of Newry. He very quickly realised that crayons were not for eating and started drawing on the wallpaper. He is now an established performance poet in the Arcadia Coffee House, with a small following of fragrant supporters. You can see his collections of poems - 'Poetry of Thought' and 'Poet in the middle' - on his website.

Kissing Bliss by Ruairi McNally

I miss you
I miss having you to kiss
I miss our kiss
I miss missing your kiss
I miss that long lingered bliss
That deep down dressing gown warm feeling
That's what I miss
My exaggerated, overstated memory of our kissing bliss
Is what I miss
The not just single, jingle, easy!
Let's mingle, make my tongue tingle
Bliss of our kiss
Is what I really miss
Self consciously I need someone to kiss
I miss having someone to miss
I miss having someone really miss
me
