Her Nectar Kiss
Within he lost his zest for life
When death came by and stole his wife
His heart went cold
Felt weak and old
His soul and mind in constant strife.
In loneliness he found a friend
The only one to understand
His hermit ways
The grieving days
The acrid drink he kept at hand.
Till one dark night, as snow fell deep
And rest he tried in vain to reap
A fairy came
She called his name
And lulled him into gentle sleep.
Her breath she blew across his face
Then on his lips she bent to place
Like nectar sweet
A kiss - a treat
Embittered feelings to replace.
He woke at dawn and was aware
That there was music in the air
Joy in his heart
A brand new start
With lots of hope and love to share.
