Notes About The Poem

One Last Kiss

*This is an entry for the contest:  ‘She sits alone’, Sponsored by Eve Roper.  
*The poem is required to be written to go with the painting Eve painted.

One last kiss

She rests in the moment of deep thoughts filled with peace
Her long eye lashes shut, to feel everything in her heart increase
Finally, she has found her love, as if the skies opened up for her
With delicate braided hair, the rest free flowing, her soul does stir

With an awakening that greets her, as she sits in calm silence
She imagines holding his hand forever, such tender guidance
His gentle touch was always savored deep within her mind
She knows there is nothing more out there for her to find

She is no longer alone, as the golden sun rises upon her today
She hears his footsteps coming closer, as he approaches her way
She is relaxed and content as she feels the warmth on her face
She sighs with slightly parted lips, in this peaceful, quiet, place

She is ready to embrace him, while she is surely not to miss
His welcomed return to her, always as if it is …one last kiss
