Deadly Kiss

I hungered for his kiss
My lips leaned forward, into his
Then passion exploded everywhere
He gripped my hips, I gripped his hair
Body to body, we became entwined
Flames raged from his mouth to mine 
Desire for more consumed our thoughts
Till grips of steel pulled me off -

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” My husband raged
I staggered back, red flooding my face
“WE’RE OVER” he said.  10 seconds of bliss, 
The death of our relationship

Sad - all too common tale! What did you mean about the double meaning of the last line of my poem? Peace and Love Matthew Anish

Hot, dangerous, exceptional, nightmarish - perhaps better than a 'slow death' - J.A.B. %
