The Last Kiss

The Last Kiss

 

The early morning tangle on the pillow

 where she slept.

Her fingers softly curling round a treasure

which she kept

Enmeshed within this living cage, lest it

should fly away

And leave her only memories of such

a perfect day.

 

The palest hint of colour tinged her cheeks

like sunrise now.

Dark lashes fringed her eyelids – slender tendrils

framed her brow,

Whilst her lips, relaxed, so tender, by a

deeper hue defined

Smiled a shy, but silent, message - masking

secrets in her mind.

 

For her lover, tug of heartache as he

plants upon her cheek

One last tender touch of caring, yet too light

to break her sleep.

Though it well may break her heart and will forever

scar her life,

When she wakes alone and learns by phone –

He’s gone back to his wife!

This is not by me - it is by Yvonne. The link to it was broken. I've managed to re-post it so that it can be part of the Cat competition voting

You'll have to help me out with this one, Yvonne.
I didn't realise it was about a cat. I thought it was about a space in your bed. I was hoping to apply for the position.
...But if I'm next to a bloody cat I think I'll pass.

Hi Yvonne. Good to see an early entry. Could you possibly change the tag to 'Cat comp' which will help myself and others not to miss it as the month goes on. Thank you

Oh the swine - I'd say that's copping out not allowing her to sleep! Some cats need letting out of bags!

Nice dreamy romantic feel to this one Yvonne - you set us up well! And I'm so glad someone's got the fur ball rolling :)
