The kiss you put
on my lips
wipe off
I’m not that kind
you know it
The words you put
in my mouth
take out
yours not mine
why do it
The life you
sucked from me
spit it
please no
don’t swallow
The kiss you put
on my lips
wipe off
I’m not that kind
you know it
The words you put
in my mouth
take out
yours not mine
why do it
The life you
sucked from me
spit it
please no
don’t swallow
How profound this poem is yet simply expressed.

Thank you, Megha – this one from a while ago – I’m still succinct but perhaps not quite so raw nowadays!

I tend to post them here at the Cafe as I re-find and air them prior to collation for publication a little later this year. I’ll make a point of finding a few more for upcoming Wednesday’s!
