Sealed With A Kiss

Sealed With A Kiss

They kissed passionately and fell onto the bed

As he unbuttoned his shirt she pulled out a gun

The truth was she wanted to kill him instead

He grinned, now the real fun had begun

 

He pulled the gun out of her hand before she pulled the trigger

This was not his first brush with death and would not be his last

His family business was far from legal

And it did not help that he had his own seedy past

 

He tied her hands to the bed

And began to go through her purse and phone

But she did not look sad

Instead she smiled like she had won

 

His throat started closing up and tears flowed from his eyes

He had to think quick

And in that instance he suddenly realised

The poison was in the lipstick

 

The gun was a distraction she had used

How could he miss

That it was all merely a ruse

His fate had already been sealed with a kiss


About “Sealed With A Kiss”

“Sealed With A Kiss” was inspired by some recent events. But before we get into that, if you’re reading this on the WordPress Reader, I would recommend viewing it on my site because the Reader always smooshes my poetry together and makes it look weird. View it on my site by clicking here:

Okay, back to the poem. I recently got poisoned by some old and possibly spoilt lipstick I used. And I talked about it on yesterdays post. Joseph Glidden, a fellow blogger, commented it could be a story but I thought why not a poem. I do love writing poetry about murder after all. So, I wrote this poem instead. And to my sister, I know you’re reading this. Yes, I got poisoned by my lipstick and no it’s not “literally hilarious.” 🙁

  23. Excellent take on your ordeal with the tainted lipstick, Pooja.

    1. Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it.

      1. My pleasure, Pooja!

  24. That’s scary about the lipstick. Hope you’re feeling better.

    1. Sorry, I’m not catching up as fast. Now that WP doesn’t share to Twitter, I check your profile, but without reminders, I tend to check WP sporadically. Not ignoring you.

      1. I totally understand, don’t worry about it.

    2. Thanks so much, I’m much better now.

  25. Your poem is clever as well as visceral. I was watching film noir last night and so unintentionally was primed.

    1. What a cool coincidence. Thanks so much.

  26. And thats how you take someone down, with poison lipstick haha, clever. Sounds like something thats more likely to happen in a spy movie

    1. Haha absolutely. Thanks. Yeah, I wanted it to be like one of those movies.

  27. Really great! Left me wanting to read more. So, whose going to untie her arms?

    1. Thanks so much! She’s a clever girl, I’m sure she’ll find a way to free herself and escape.

  28. Wow, what a thrilling and twisted tale in a few verses, Pooja! The way you incorporated recent events into this dark poem is impressive. It kept me hooked until the unexpected twist at the end. Your skill in storytelling through poetry is commendable indeed.
    I hope you’re doing well now after the lipstick incident. Looking forward to more captivating pieces like this!

    1. Thank you so much. I’m so glad you enjoyed the poem.
      I’m fully healed now, thankfully. And I’ve thrown out the lipstick so hopefully this won’t occur again in the future.

  29. Wow. That’s a good one

    1. Thank you so much.

  30. 👍👍👍Good one, Pooja

  33. I really enjoyed reading this piece. Love your content, I have no idea why I didn’t stop on by sooner!

    1. Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it.

  34. Poisoned by lipstick – wow! Catherine de Medici used this trick, according to the legend.

    1. Oh wow, how interesting. I think I’ll be reading up on her.

      1. I believe it is mentioned in Queen Margot by Alexander Dumas.

  35. I think you’re going to have to keep your future boyfriends away from your blogs 🤣.

    1. Haha yes, I’m going to have to make sure they never read it especially the poems and short stories 😅

  36. Love this poem. It definitely reads better on here. I am glad to help spark the idea. I find your comment about your sister hilarious. Thanks for a great post.

    1. Thanks so much. Lol glad you enjoyed that and it was an awesome idea from your end.

  37. Love this poem. It definitely reads better on your web site. I am glad to help spark the idea. I find your comment about your sister hilarious. Thanks for a great post.

  38. Deadly kiss! I drawn into the story right away. I am glad you chose to write a poem about it.
    Have you read Agatha Christie mystery novels? She always uses a unique poison to kill a victim.

    1. Thanks so much. Yes, I love Agatha Christie. I’ve read many of her books and watched many of the movies based on her books.

  39. Hmmm …… kiss not for it can be a trap!

    1. Absolutely!

  40. Well written. I loved it… So much detail in a poem💯. You write so well

    1. Thanks so much. So glad you enjoyed it 😊

  41. Kinky …
    I love it 😂😂
    Also just out of curiosity, was this poem inspired by Game Of Thrones where Princess Myrcella was killed off with a kiss?

    1. Thanks so much. Omg GoT, that’s where that happened. I knew I had seen something where someone was killed with a kiss but I couldn’t remember where 😅

      1. It was such a good show.
        And then season 8 happened 😢

        1. I know what you mean 😭

  42. Excellent! Wonderful trick ending. It had me intrigued all the way through. Thanks for sharing Pooja.

    1. Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed the poem!

  43. A good poem with a reminder to check out my makeup.

    1. Yes, definitely check it out especially mascara and lipstick as they spoil quickly.

  44. Waoh! Brilliant! The entire story was executed beautifully! 😤🤌🏼

    1. Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

  45. How do you write, on MS Word or Notepad or directly on WordPress? If you write on MS Word, notepad or any other application just give a line space between two lines. When you copy and paste it on WordPress, it will be automatically in separate blocks and it will show properly on WordPress.

    1. I write directly on WordPress but I’ll try writing on another application first and then copy and pasting it. Thanks for the tip.

  46. Oh well dang!!! You know there was a lay that made poisonous lipstick and another who made perfume.
    Great poem Pooja!

    1. Ooh very interesting. Thank you!

    1. Thank you.

  47. Love the ending. Don’t know it is coming. You always give me surprises. And it is quite philosophical, isn’t it? The obvious danger, the gun, is easy to avoid while the non-obvious danger, the lipstick, is difficult to steer away. Usually people won’t realize it until it is too late.

    1. Thank you so much. Yes, exactly. Sometimes it’s not the obvious things we have to lookout for. It’s the things we love that can kill us.

      1. I am going to see lipsticks in an entirely different way after reading your story.

        1. I think I may actually be allergic to something in this one. Either way, always remember makeup can kill you lol.

  48. That was awesome. While reading it, it felt like an old murder mystery movie. As for makeup, yes you have too be careful with some of the old stuff. It can even affect your skin if you’re not careful.

    1. Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. True, makeup can really damage your skin if it’s expired or bad quality.

  49. Haha … inspiration from the lipstick poisoning, maybe? 🙂

    1. Lol, absolutely inspired from that 😅

      1. That’s how the best stories are birthed. 😅👍

        1. Trueee 😜

  50. This was really good and I totally missed the twist despite just having read about what happened to you! Great job.

    1. Thanks so much, glad it still caught you by surprise lol!

      1. You’re welcome! It was really well done.

  51. This is an interesting poem and I love every bit of it.

    1. Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it.

      1. You are welcome.
