A Kiss From Heaven

A kiss from heaven A magical time A true love is rare But decidedly divine My picture of love Was carefully designed Two parents and a home That I could call mine Shakespere and romance Filled in some gaps Passion and desires Completed the map But can we play With the cards we're delt With time an enemy And the beauty of someone else How can I win love With what I have And the ideal of me loving Makes people laugh All the ledgends and stories That I would use To make myself something Besides abused Hope springs eternal When it comes to love As fools we dare to trust it But it's love that we're made of Love plays its game Of hide and seek And of all emotions It's the most unique Why we desire This awesome power When by it we are Weakened by the hour Upon inspection and Deep reflection Without it flesh Is incomplete The laws of attraction Mixed with fashion Or divide the strong From the weak Is love law or law love While contenders ferociously compete Long and lonely This part of lifes journey That so often leads To dispare It's not just physical but it's also Finding someone who cares Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Did we find that sacred trust Or are our memories Filled with lust And like our bodies to decay And rust Was our destination Heaven or bust Johnny Loving

John, I really love a poem, words, that brings tears to my eyes, like this one of yours did. The thoughts expressed and feelings shared in this piece are so authentic. It spoke right to my heart. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust" and "decidedly divine." I loved it. Thank you, Cynthia

Love plays games with us and shows us up as fools. An elegant write, John. By the by, I see you've removed some of your poems. I'm sure you had good reason but let me also add that I'm disappointed. If you remove this one I'll have your hide. Good one, my friend. Licia :-)
