Love Poem: Doves Don'T Cry

Doves Don'T Cry

My words are the titles to
The stories my lips will tell
The dew that settles gently
Between my hand and your cheek

When we two parted, in death
Hands parted for the first time
My gentle fingers tracing 
Turned to wings but kept embracing

The final door we walked through, 
On the other side we flew
Twisting through the vines and leaves
The love of doves transcends trees 

Once a human serenade,
My attraction turned instinct
I needn't hands or words, too, 
My heart, soar the skies with you
