One Kiss Poem by Mishack O Madubandlela

One look, one smile.
One wave, one shy.
That is the only shy you ever feel
One greet, one date.
One meal, one mate
At least… for now
All is well and you enjoy your life very well.
One more time in your life, you think you've found it.
Of course, you have!
Sadly, you have found another one of your demises.
Unfortunately, you've run out of disguises
To hide your affliction when you finally lose your
affection. One kiss, one love.
One partner, one decision.
One nuptial ceremony, one oversight.
That is one mistake too many.
You make a decision on haste,
Only to find that you've made a waste.
You give it all to the one you think is affectionate.
That's okay, you tried to be loved… but you weren't
That one kiss. Yes, the one you had in the alley,
It, most likely, was your worst decision, but your best
experiment
At least now you know the difference that one kiss can
make.
Regret is not an option, just be glad it gave you a lesson.
Never rely on it to make an informed decision.
It is life changing, no doubt. The heartbreak is inevitable.
