A Kiss, From the Sky

O faultless sky, with your pillows of dreams 
and eyes that blink from mountains to seas, 

with your breath swallowing the sweet wines
of land-
ah, today I could 
have danced, with the wind; tickled the humor- 
less soul, with so much lust, but my time 

was lost, 
staring at you. No regret, at all. The lives of 
yesterday, there were ups and downs, for 
sorrow and pain burst 
in paroxysm of rage. I felt it, alone 

just a child, un-intently, listened to the shriek 
of exploding car’s tire, yet the touches of 
your hand, gently, rippling 
my passion as I laid myself on this field of lush, 
‘neath this olive tree, moved my spirits. Surely, 

no one will ever know the remnants of your kiss, 
except me, who slept with you on a luscious day.
