The Kiss - Reverse Poem

When you kissed me A fool fell in love I became weak in the knees The world revolved around your halo Angel eyes captured my imagination Like Einstein I discovered relativity Wisdom had been my lonely pathway Drunk on independent thought Wondering if those lips would part for me Wanting to breathe your breath Gazing longingly I looked towards you So quickly You looked away my heart sank When you kissed another boy Don't forget to read it in reverse. Reverse poem written for Craig Cornish's contest. August 11/2013

Very interesting poem just enjoyed. It's a matter of heart feeling. When she does, I can't tolerate but when I do, can she bear? Excellent reverse poem. Good luck in the contest. Loved always, bl
