Like A Gentle Kiss


The scent of night perfumes my pillow here tonight 
alongside jasmine dreams that will never go away 
A traceless dusk awaits me by tomorrow's infant light
as I dream beneath the umbra of a lost forgotten day 

Silently I revel by the flowered gates of Paradise 
jarring open with my fingers parting veils of time 
A harp of gold is being plucked right before my eyes 
as I float towards its cadence, I feel quite sublime... 

Ephemeral presences with feel and touch of home
everything is moving smoothly as I begin to slide 
Judgement day, I have arrived, here I stand alone      
waiting before the Jury, it makes no sense to hide 

Here inside this fragranced Kingdom an aromatic bliss,   
permeating right through heaven, just like a gentle kiss.
