Last Kiss

When with a kiss on that day we did part
Love still filled our hearts.
A pointless war ripped us apart.
Filled with dreams and wishes that last kiss.
To last forever we both did wish.

Yet fate would deal its hand
upon the shores of a foreign land.
There I fell
In that living hell.

Our wishes and dreams lost
Forever.
But,
That last kiss
For you
A life time,
Will last.

/5

The poem "Last Kiss" tells a story of love and loss, but it falls short in its execution. The language is simplistic and lacks depth, leaving the reader with a sense of emptiness. The poem could benefit from more vivid imagery and emotional depth to truly convey the impact of the war and the loss of the relationship.

One suggested line edit: "A pointless war ripped us apart" could be revised to "A war, senseless and cruel, tore us apart" to add more emotional weight and detail to the poem.

Hello, Johnnie,
This is my first visit to your poetry! I like this very much, and I feel the depth and sadness. I wonder, though, if you might try writing it in free verse. The rhyme is good, logical and tight. But it is also somewhat predictable and expected, taking away a bit of the intensity of such raw feelings. The last portion of the poem is without rhyme, yet very strong.
Thank you!
Lavender
