His Kiss
With kind, gentle eyes
Caressing with smiles
Whispering shyly
Within sapphire lights
Resembling fireflies
Flickering thru nights
Enchanting the stars
Passionate praises
Powerful prayers
Echoing through dreams
Coloring worlds whole
Soothing compassion
Filling my heart up
With graceful pure love
Promising my thoughts
Surely find a place
On silence that waits
Only to be breathed
On clouds of misty
Mornings, dawns delight
Startling with wonders
Beloved vows of
Song and poetry
In the eyes of one
Who knows me deeply
Completely, sweetly
And he still loves me
With perfect passion
Like a touch of lips
Moistened for his kiss
