The Last Kiss

her hands were cold, ?my eyes were numb,
       and impossible was eye contact;
              tears rolling down, and hearts left dumb;
       how on sep'ration, we could act?

she looked at me with silent lips:
       her forehead was with worries moist!
              we, as rain before thunder drips;
       just forgot if ever rejoiced.

then, suddenly, I held her head,
       she held her hands before my back;
              our lips struck as world was dead,
       a love's revenge with pink attack!

don't know when our lips separat'd,
       it was a mourn more than a bliss;
              she left, she had to leave, behead;
       left me tantalized with last kiss!
