Read and find out, there's a twist. Sestina poem. |
The allure of your eyes made me gaze Turning to meet you with a smile My legs are set into motion, dragging my body with it Yet I am distracted and turn away When I turn back you are inches apart from my face Grinning, you steal a kiss My knees are weak from your breathtaking kiss But there is something happening as I follow your gaze Someone has fainted, but I cannot recognize their face Leading me from the scene you smile But I do not wish to be whisked away I will have none of it! I insist on seeing it! Did this woman faint from a kiss?! Why are you trying to pull me away? Looking at a spot on the wall, averting my gaze You no longer smile I cup your chin, so we are face to face Tears now stain your face What is going on? What is it? I try to make you smile Nothing will do, not even a kiss I now shift my gaze The woman has now passed away You are pulling away The story is written all over your face I see the woman, your true love, in your gaze It's true, isn't it That her last gasp of breath was taken with a kiss Sadly, you smile I apologize for your sorrowful smile I understand that I must pull away I leave you with a lingering kiss And you gently caress my face As if to memorize it Neither of us wanting to break our gaze I lightly smile, breaking the gaze I am going far away, yet I didn't mean to end it My undoing was a weak heart and a kiss, but my love is still remanant in your face |
