Last Kiss

As the taste of your last kiss
leaves my lips,
I smile
at my future.
At last
I see the light
in it's fearful eyes;
I salute it
as it blinks a modest reminder
of my past.
Your scent lingers;
A silent, soft breeze of divine
inspiration;
The touch of your delicate fingers
plays across my mind,
as a pianist caresses his love;
Gently
you make your way into my heart;
Slowly
navigating your way
through the pitfalls and traps,
torch in hand,
past the barricades,
with a glint of hope in your eye
and a flick of your hair.
Everywhere I look
I see you;
Holding my trembling hand,
understanding my failings
and looking for all that shines
in my world.
I close my eyes
and feel the warmth of your lips
pressing against mine;
Softly
you breathe
and a sweetness flows
across my soul.
