A Bitter Kiss

A hidden past, shall always stand, inside the heart, of mortal man. He who thinks, it shall never arise, is foolish to the bone, living captive in a lie. A living reminder, our conscience within, brings into focus, where we have been. Fear not the truth, it is what it is, as comfort comes, from a bitter kiss.

Liked the line "a hidden past - shall always stand. Everyone has some "skeletons in the closet" - that is how I interpet your poem. I wish you happiness in the New Year! Yours Matthew Anish

Well, after reading this a second time( i was in a bit of rare form today) I discovered that it was not a literal bitter kiss but just life's bitter kiss and I appreciate this piece all the more. We read and percive, reflet on our own lives when we read poetry and that is what makes it so grand! :) great poetry here.

No one I believe likes bitter kisses. It is important that we as humans not live in denial of who we are... In the midst of discovery, beautiful rare things can happen as our unbonded hearts rise to new heights. Loved the depth of this write. Very amazing, truly.
