The Other Night When You Kissed Me

by S. Pelham Flood


I felt like my heart would implode. You flicked
your tongue across my lips and jolted my body
from repose. There was a passion you fed me,
perhaps unknown to you, but it pulsed through
your touch, electrifying my skin. Could you feel
my nerves ripple when you seductively kissed
my torso?

Time was of no importance to me at that moment,
I was ready to give everything to you…my heart,
my mind, my life.

You’re like the purest of cocaine, you lift me up
so high yet drop me so low I can’t function at times.
Even now you consume my thoughts, hindering my
ability to live alone.

Each day I spend, now knowing you,
the less I want to be alone. Singleness has no
clutch in this game, it’s pure left ventricle, right
ventricle. They pump so fluidly and majestically
when you open up and seem like you want me, yet
they constrict painfully everyday you seem uninterested.

Priority is not what I’m asking for and commitment
has many meanings…none of which I need
defined. All I want is your soul, your mind.

If only I knew you wanted me as I want you
then it would feel like the other night all over
again…everyday…

School comes first, but can I be second?

Congratulations on POTD! This work is very deserving. It feels measured and polished, and it sucks us in. And, of course, that last line is perfect! Very glad to have seen this :) Thanks.

This is wonderful -I love the fact that it has an almost electric quality to it -you can practically feel the ripples...and I also know the dilemma inherent all too well...lovely, lovely piece!!

This is so real... so endearing and raw. AHHhhhh!!! I so know the inside angst of how lost without the knowledge of what goes on in another persons life/mind... So great! ~N
