MEMORIES OF HEAVEN -

I kissed the morning light 
that flashed vividly your sweet memories in my longing heart.
My body was in stun 
for it was your face that I first saw when I closed my eyes.

The times that we shared together, even in silence,
are the only moments that I want to reminisce 
from among all the memories of my existence,
for they are like eternal glories that shine in the abyss,
that give my soul a perpetual bliss. 

The times that we walked together 
on the boulevard of lovers' dreams
were like I was floating on thin air-
soaring along the peaceful seams. 

I held your hands tightly and gently kissed your lips-
those were the most wonderful moments of my life, 
my ultimate bliss,
like thousands of elations ran through my veins
and lifted my body unto high heavens. 

Your voice that rang sweetly to my ears 
was like a rhapsody in seventh heaven 
that casted away all my worries and fears, 
for I found my guardian angel and my safe haven. 

The moments that we shared together might be terse, 
but were so dear divine, 
for we were in cloud nine; 
Moments that could spell our salvation, 
from the claws of eternal damnation. 

The parting of our stares was like the legend of long goodbye; 
We hugged each other tight and bade farewell in tears,
but your memories lived In the bottom of my heart
as the years passed by.
