Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

The Kiss That Never Was

I was kissed
Long ago
I wept long before
I never let go

You have become my dream
You've broken into my heart
So now I weep yet again
You wont, mercy be, let me go

I held your hand in a dream
I caressed the blood of your heart
To give you life
I weep once more

My lungs are filled with water
I am drowning in desire
I weep at this very moment
My passion shall murder me

Pastel tears, painted tomorrow
Monet warned me of Parisian blues
All that I can grasp in the palm of my hand
Why am I denied the touch of love?

In the haze of such thoughts
I beg of you
Let it rain day and night
So that I may drown in your arms
