A Kiss

When you don’t live to see another day with me,
then  I will sing our song alone.
No chorus  swelling, clapping , cheering 
but repeating words that I have known.

Just the memory of your face
will turn me circles unending.
Searching for the sweetest smile
Now a fading image

Beset with doubt but with surety of spirit,
my trust I gave unswerving.
This world will overwhelm me
but surrender ever waits me

A day with you not close to me
I’ll sing me song in unison
No soothing voices heaven sent
to speak the words that I have known

I know too soon your soul will fly
alone but held by angels,
beyond where clouds like white meringues
wait for winds of love to move you onward.

My broken heart will taudry break,
but through the fractured rays will gleam
a light, to point me where you are
within the midnight blue expanse

Tears will dry, sweet breath returns
Etched memories never weathered.
Life moves along obscuring time
But still my cheek will feel your kiss
