Teddy Kimathi Poet Narrative

Wearing Off

As they kissed, she pulled back,
reminding him that staying together
as a couple had turned her to something
that could easily wear off.
Their house's blissful aura was fading;
time had ceased in their wall clock;
they didn't share socks in winter nights,
anymore.....
He had no words to express,
as words disintegrated bitterly into
his vocal cords.

Charlotte Puddifoot March 23, 2017 at 5:05 AM i had to seek this one out because it was an entry in my contest which i liked very much, and the only reasons it didn't place was the line about socks, which threw me out of the poem, and also the form was wrong...apart from that i liked it - i like your writing in general Teddy Kimathi May 11, 2017 at 3:45 AM Hi Charlotte. Lolest, I must have put the poetry form in a hurry. It was meant to be a narrative. Thank you so much for enjoying my work!! *^_^*
