kiss - Blackout Poetry Notes

In Your Kiss

A wonderfully maddening love
is in your kiss.

This love in a kiss
could drive away pain.

She was helpless
with soft desirability
and relaxed bliss
so lost
in a kiss.

Fall in love with
wine so good, a bed so soft,
and a kiss under mistletoe.

She saw a shadow bent over her,
death's mouth was hungry.
She struggled
to break free.
A cold kiss opened her mouth.

He had awakened
a slumber in me,
with lips
to kiss
so slowly, slowly, slowly.

I daresay
with a look in
his eyes - 
yes - I must kiss him.

Kiss me again 
and stay til I
am asleep.

I didn't want him
to kiss me.
I don't love him.
I never did.
I deluded myself,
made him into a new man -
not a human, fallible being.

On the porch laughing in my arms,
flashes of her smile - 
and kissing at midnight.
