Love Poem: Kiss of Deception

Kiss of Deception

The kiss was of passion
Desire, hot and strong
Staying in my memory
Long after we were gone

We talked of many things
Long into the night
Holding and caressing
Exploring delight

And when we parted
I thought nothing had changed
Our hearts seemed bound
For something long range

But a kiss of deception
Still holds a lie
And the abruptness of the ending
Is killing me inside

A kiss of betrayal
The bond came unwound
The last kiss received
Was one that let me down
