Love Poem: The Smile

The Smile

Now it is dark and I suddenly wake
I hold your hand praying to our Lord:
Leave his hand close, So I can take 
his soul to the place of our concord, 
Where his dreams are not mislaid, 
He is my husband, I am his maid. 

As he sleeps with a peaceful smile 
I touch his lips with my fingertips 
This is our kissing and for a while
His breath will die upon my lips,
Heaven was with me all the time
since his bliss and mine did rime.
