Kiss in Four Parts

Anonymous's picture

I.
My face is
Tingling
Buzzing like it used to
When we made love
And you held me close
Through the tremors
That wracked my body
And I wrapped my mouth
Around your shoulder
Just to hold on.

II.
We met
The other day.
She sat behind me
And blushed when I said your name.
All the while I thought
Of how you said
I kissed better.

III.
Your mother is dying
And I wonder if you hold her hand
As gently
As you held my mouth with yours.

IV.
You’re a liar
A cheater
A drinker.

Kiss me again?

I like the way...

you decided to format the poem... with the roman numerals... that's really cool.. i think instead of having the lips holding on part... i think you should add as my lips gently brush against yours...or something of this sort.. just a suggestion... great job!

I think I've said this a few

I think I've said this a few times (to a few people) But I like the idea of doing little sub-poems inside one longer poem. I especially like the last one, because I think thats how a lot of people feel all the time.
