Sylvia Lupien Poet Rhyme

The Kiss of Death

The Kiss of Death

The Kiss is still ringing 
On in my head. 
To end up with darkness
Chained to my bed. 

The sunset flickers over
Closed curtains. 
The world reflected by green, tinted light. 
The darkness spreads its wings 
Over everything out there and in here. 
, it’s another poem about Death. 
Just as I thought I was catching my breath-
From when you crashed into me and took all of 
My sin. 
And now there’s nothing left inside. 
To come and take me now that I’m off in my dance and heart. 
Hoping with all my breath that she’ll be outstanding. 

, it’s another poem about Death. 
Another poem held close to my chest. 
As I leap from my bed and pull back my chains, 
Screaming, crying. 
My chains finally break and I feel their release. 
But deep down, the kiss still rings. 

Because you can’t have summer without the rain. 
And I am the rain but I am the sun.
Which will you get from me?
The bittersweet tea from Death lasts forever-
The kiss still rings. 
To end up with me, 

Escaping my bed.

Ink Empress October 25, 2024 at 1:39 AM Dear Sylvia, this is such a deeply moving and soul stirring poem, your title is as good and deep as your poem which is written about grief darkness and angst, sometimes we get chained to darkness , and to leave that space and move is not easy when some scars still remain fresh within. Somehow this really made me feel alot and I absolutely love the line “ Because you can’t have summer without the rain. And I am the rain but I am the sun.” so true and powerful! I am the rain but i am the sun too. Pleasure reading your heartfelt poem. Sending you light always
