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!

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 Login to Reply Jannie Breedt Date: 11/25/2017 5:46:00 AM 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
