The Neighbours Kiss

Once was I kissed by my neighbours wife Bringing me back from death to life While slumbered still I sleepily lay Suspended serene 'twixt the night and the day A housebreaker moon in a bullshitters night Where she took and she gave Memory of how our lips became slaved Resistance got broken as I lay on that couch Secret remained in the twist of our mouths Ever since then I've been courting the myth For only the want of a neighbours kiss Eyes in the shadows saw that loving exchange And never betrayed us and nothings since changed Wandering around , besotted like this To see the wife of my neighbour And boy, can she kiss!

I'm floored that there are no comments. Appalled, too - shame. The first stanza has great imagery, phrasing and wording that I've come to think of as uniquely you. Then, an ending I didn't expect. I like this very much. Your lines are getting shorter and saying more - growth achieved. Be blessed ... CayCay

Yea, its a confession of sorts. It really happened. I woke up with a delicious mouth on mine and its the beat wake up Ive ever known. Maureen was a kisser. Again a confession... I havent kissed anybody in years now. Does one outgrow them ? I need to be kissed once more then I can die

Good morning! It must be good with memories such as this one to return to. A well written poem drew me into the scene.
