Afer She Smiled, A Kiss She Blew Me Poem by Isunge Mwangase

Afer She Smiled, A Kiss She Blew Me

Rating: 5.0


After she smiled, a kiss she blew me,
Like a woodpecker making her nest
I heard my heart quake,
When she turned around and drenched his lips,
Out of my eyes came something like water;
A garland of shattered dreams
On a night I ere thought perfect,
My happiness a fleeting nova,
As she grabbed hers with all fingers-
And toes,
Betrayals quintessence yet she never mine was.

Had a shooting star's promise had been broken,
Or did she wish him a moment after I her?
Light and blackness separated by a hair,
Took her a second to abandon our moment-
And I, eternity

better to love and lose than never been...it's an experience that renders maturity to self...

I am no critic of poetry; If i relate then i like and in this case i relate! i can almost feel that sadness!

SO many emotions! ! ! ! really good and breathtaking... the only thing here... would be maybe to change the title to 'after she smiled, she blew me a kiss'.. just i think it sounds and looks better... but the actual content of this poem is very nice!
