Chocolate kisses

She was good for me and I was good for her

(Or at least that’s what people said)

But one day I wondered how your lips would feel

And it ended up happening to me

It takes two pairs of lips to tango

And two pairs of eyes to mambo

Two pairs of legs to fly

But only a pair of hearts to fall

And we actually fell

Leaping through time like that girl

Who after smelling lavender scent

Got teleported to a faraway place

From where not even love spells

Could bring her back again

Since her darkness had already paled

Among chocolate kisses in wee-hour affairs

“I know I am but summer to your heart,

and not the full four seasons of the year.”

She wrote one not-so-fine spring day

Deception building an even higher wall around her

Despicable soul, incarnated probity!

Avant-garde of honest hypocrisy!

Lukewarm light suddenly switching cold!

Truthful heart pumping reptile blood!

It takes a pair of lips to say bye

And a pair of eyes to cry

A pair of legs to walk away

But just one heart to execrate

Now, while a tsunami crashes on my wall of lead

And an earthquake shakes the foundations of her creed

Our -yours and mine- ending links

Are already melting into a newborn string

To S. and her lips, for inspiring this.
