The Kiss

One last kiss before he leaves,
A token vowed as they part.
A luring note creating linger as
time will test an idle heart.

Two lost souls alone in a world,
Left with nothing but this taste.
A hazy zest that must prevail for
a broken seal knows waste.

An old adventure renews a smile,
A friend whose charms incite.
A clever plot that favors a yen but
fades wanting without a bite.

His loyal spirit finds way home,
She bears the fruit of her love.
A quaint bequest worth more than
gold and honored by grace above.

This was a wonderful read, Jesse. Good luck in the Innocent Mind contest. I don't think it got judged yet, right?

This is very beautiful. Profound love expressed, to the spirit beyond the flesh. I think this is more what God has in mind. And you said it perfectly.
