'you kiss me like you really mean it',
he told me once,
not as a compliment, more of an accusation.
and he was right... i did
i knew i had to fit a lifetime in that kiss.
Cia, I liked this piece. It was short, but to the point. It said as much again in what wasn't written as there was written. Top Marks from me. Thanks for sharing it my friend. David
Of the 15 this is the only one I will comment on because I would only write the same glowing report on every one! This one, however, is something else. It took me to 'that place' and made me feel 'that thing'. I love your angle on reality. Can we have some more please? ! Esra Sloblock
Every word exactly in the right place, nothing redundant, superb crafting - & a teasing ambiguity to end with: has to be a 10!
Again, this poem can be taken two ways. You had to fit a lifetime into that kiss to show him how you felt about him...or, you fit that lifetime into a kiss to tell him it was over. Conundrum. Which ever it is...masterfully done with few words.xxElysabeth
I love this poem! I've read it several times because the exact wording is so vital to its incredible impact. Thanks for sharing it!
your words go straight to the heart....full of meaning...short verse said......all longings in one kiss!
Isn't really a kiss starts meant for your whole life? Has kneeled down request for a marriage? Ha, ha!
