Kiss Me Aqua

Picture prompt courtesy of The Mag 179

You parked the antique car
and kissed me, aqua
 
eyes lifted 
one deflated heart
to the heavens
where I danced
on moonbeams.
 
100 balloons,
a blissful high
long enough to trust again
 
until you confessed~
I was too far gone.

    Lovely read, and I sense if only he offered one more time, to be kissed by aqua .... too far gone, would melt away.

    There seemed to be a lot going ever that smoothly until the end. It put a gulp in the throat! Nicely Laurie!

    That was me in the early 1980's. This was great and it broke my heart.

    Hi, I enjoyed your poem too. The imagery is so beautiful. I too felt the free fall of a confession too late and what must be a broken heart to follow.
