A Kiss Poem by Elena Plotkin

A Kiss

Rating: 4.3


A kiss on the forehead
or one on the cheek
A kiss from your mother
while you are asleep.
A kiss of pure innocence.


A kiss on the cheek
Or a kiss on the lips
A kiss from a playmate
Who sits in the same row.
A kiss of pure innocence.


A kiss on the lips
Or a kiss on the neck
A kiss from someone
you're happy you met.
A kiss of lost innocence.

i'm not sure i agree with Khairul, below. after innocence is lost comes a lot of work and sometimes heartbreak! i laughed at the last stanza...out loud. i have added this, or will, to MyPoemlist. well done, good and faithful poet. try, if you will, my poem 88 Kiss With A Twist...... it is number 88 today anyway. i had to search for it as i could not remember the exact title. i usually find something i don't like about a poem, but i didn't find anything here. thanks for sharing. bri

A kiss on the lips Or a kiss on the neck A kiss from someone you're happy you met. A kiss of lost innocence. you are comparing and contrasting the kiss of innocence and the loss of innocence. yes these are human experiences. we go through it. this is the path of life. it makes mature. thank you for this thoughtful poem. tony

A kiss of lost innocence resonates with time seasoned separation, yet life is seasoned with a family of kiss variety cultural interactions, love bestowed in a kiss blesses with choice emotional responses.
