Love Poem: The Last Kiss

The Last Kiss

melancholy baby,
that last sweet tender kiss
a taste I know for long
I will surely miss...

then there's the sad
last kiss,
for the beloved
departed in death
and those on the reaper's list

so resplendent in their coffins
so sad to see them go
I know, all my life I'll wonder,
why must it be so?

either way, that kiss
was meant for a lifetime
to surely last
and likely beyond
the day
when shadow's
have no longer to be cast
and maybe even more,
for whatever might
be the reason
and for those we do so adore

carry my kiss into
the lofty cotton-like cloud
let its moisture of love
never abandon you
let the angel's sweet
trumpeted song of love,
always be clear and loud
and know knowing you,
has always made me proud
