Fragile Kiss

entry picture

Did it all come to an end with a silent nod?

Do you know I love you…?

 

A fragile kiss I barely remember…

 

Just keep walking, like I do!

You had once said…

 

We met when all at once was lost…

Behind…Years past I had trampled on…

Loneliness subdued in our determined stride…

Different sides on a flipped coin of life…

Heads and Tails flight of uncertain fortune

towards a destined landing then yet unknown… 

 

Along a foreign avenue for the lonesome…

In simplicity of existence…

For years we travelled lightly…

Dreams of redemption slowly faded…

Acquittal blurred into faint hope,

until on a desolate lonely road… 

Penance fulfilled,

you finally found your way home…

 

Do you know I love you…?

A fragile kiss I barely remember…

Your poetry is so romantic. I could listen to you recite the news and swoon. ?
