It was a kiss
but not a normal kiss
this one left me pained
but even relieved
I knew it was wrong
I knew I would regret it
but every time I walked away
the kiss beckoned me back
I don't know why it happened
I don't even know when it started
all I knew was
if I felt bad
this kiss would help me
Most kisses are soft and delicate
but this one was hard and demanding
demanding that I come back every time I hurt
demanding that every time I thought it was over
i had to return back to the kiss
Most people are in love when they kiss
but this kiss was out of complete hatred
hatred for myself, hatred for what I let happen,
and hatred for knowing nobody could help me
This kiss
alluring, yet dangerous
left me playing a dangerous game with myself
wondering when the next kiss would be
wondering when I would feel joy, yet pain
The kiss of cold hard steel
is not easily forgettable
This kiss leaves scars that you never want to show
it leaves memories that you never want to think of again
This kiss was deadly
But this kiss

WELCOME MEL ~ Thanks for sharing your first poem which poses a challenge about the categories of kisses of which there are many ! I is a well written free verse poem ~ with lots iof rhythm and flow as suits the subject. We all kiss every day but THIS KISS was not normal or soft and delicate ~ it was a paradox ! Alluring yet dangerous ~ offering pain and relief ~ wrong but beckoning ~ hated not love ~ unforgettable but bad ................ ? I guess if we are honest MEL we have all received (and given) kisses of the genre you describe and they are very very captivating. What you do about it ~ only you can decide ! Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
Thank you!
kiss of death I'm guessing? but good ink welcome
A lot of power behind this one and I like how it all revolves around a single moment!
Thank you!!
Really good!!
