Kiss Me

A Poem by Claire Marie

Based on an old love

KISS ME.

DRAW OUT THE POISON ON MY TONGUE

SO I CAN ONLY SAY SWEET PHRASES

AND SING MELLIFLUOUS MELODIES.

WET MY TONGUE WITH YOURS

TO GIFT ME YOUR WORDS AND PROFESSIONS

TRAIN MY LIPS TO ONLY BE ABLE

TO MOUTH YOUR NAME AND AN "I LOVE YOU"

GOD KNOWS THAT'S ALL THAT'S

ON MY MIND WITH MY LIPS AGAINST YOURS.

I like this piece. It's borderline experimental-prose works well here. What was your inspiration?

My first real boyfriend, actually. Very adolescent-love-affair-esque, I must admit.
