the kiss

by Richard Trotter

Presence, lilac through oil and dirt
perfect words made darkness a liar.
Breeze and release of the languid motions
of your tongue against mine, like a laser
to scan away pain and awaken flesh,
a coat of smooth explosive sugar.
Idyllic apologies followed
with the world a joyous child's toy.

Wonderful read made from wonderful lines throughout this, Richard. Perhaps a proof reading to fix typos like 'mione' in line 4, and reworking of other lines like the opening one, which sounds awkward, or complete deletion. The second line provides a much stronger opening. In any case, kudos!

Oh, the freshness and sweetness of it... like a spring breeze. very well said.

Not sure I'll ever think of a kiss the same way (when and if I ever get one) but this is searingly sensual. CONGRATULATIONS on POTD!

This is very stylish stuff, Richard. It’s full of sharp angles, twists and turns. I like that, it’s real and raw and full of life. Congratulations on your Poem Of The Day.
