Bear This Kiss (poem)
It’s not for us alone we bear this kiss
This dream of fantasies of long ago
This island in the sea of the amiss
When all words fail its truth will always glow
-
There other lovers drifting in this sea
Who harbor gentle kisses of their own
Who search like us to find eternity
In realms which all our kisses have foreshown
-
And as we venture further toward our day
We see the gloom of darkness steal our past
And younger lover caught up in the fray
Lost to a world for kisses moves too fast
-
So bear our Joyful burden holding tight
Our kisses are the echoes of their night
