Another Kiss

Another Kiss

A Poem by Matthew Bass

The cops are at the front door 
because sometimes, love is violent 
and lingers on much longer 
than it should. 
  
The broken glass will stay on the floor 
because I´m stuck to the chair 
with three empty wine bottles 
and the yelling from the bedroom 
is getting desperate. 
  
I, 
drooped over 
the sticky table 
in a spinning room 
wait for her 
with a lucid smile 
frozen on my shoulder 
like footprints embedded in cement 
in a park with a billion lights 
behind the crumbling mountain 
of an autumn coast 
  
while 
  
the knocking at the door 
becomes 
louder 
  
louder

Oh my, I am not very fond of how you began this but you definitely swept me away overall. The ending isn't as strong as it could be either, however I like your descriptions. Good work, Matthew.

It´s funny how we think we are all on the cusp of something, and just have not been recognized yet. I am no different. I don´t really care all that much, but at the same time I do care. .. more..
