The Silent Kiss


Gentle as a dove gliding through the clouds 
I am at a loss for words though here I am  
Timeless as music wafting through thin air 
ageless as the stars that shine above you.   
Soft as a kiss that has lost its will to speak,  
I am an Angel, that once was yours to keep;

There between the firmament of heaven 
lays  the truth of who I used to be to you !  
Semi-liquid love unspoken, ... I am starved 
for yesterdays embrace that once was mine. 
Forbearing light keep me steady as a breeze,    
while I lay a silent kiss, upon his cheek ...     

I'll glide into his dreams a glistening vision,   
clothed in white, like a ghostly apparition !
