The Art of Kissing You (NYPC #5)

New Year's Poetry Challenge, Prompt #5
"Write a poem about kissing or about a kiss. No word in the poem can be more than one syllable."


You held art in your palms

made brush strokes cry

but by no means had I watched you paint

with as much grace and pain

as when you would cup my face

press me ‘tween your lust and the wall

and kiss me like an old film

You used to look at me like no one has since

like you could love the worst parts

You held art in your palms

when you drank me calm and slow

like tea, like I could heal you

yet the warmth of your breath

slid down smooth and wild as gin

I could feel your craft

through the part of your lips

felt like a prized piece on that wall

But some art

you just

throw

out
