Twas a kiss that awoke this heart of mine
from the sleep that death had brought to it.
For long before this I had chosen thine,
yet, love deemed this heart beneath unfit.

The date of love hath passed so long before,
like Summer's warm touch on Winter's bliss.
Yet, it lives through dormant dreams no more,
for love was shown through a simple kiss.

What a kiss it was to a wounded heart.
Though it lacked in time, it governed love.
For it's power tore night and day apart,
to prove to thee that none reigns above.

It was, though, waking to the sun clad sea,
as the notes of song birds filled the air
and drops of nectar fulfilling thy plea,
twas the kiss of love that I must swear!
        

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

This is beautiful! It has a very old fashioned tone and I love it. You're right on with the rhythm too.

Sigi Usti Vigido,it amazes me this soft sweetness that seem to simply pour forth.Is a dear and gentle heart can find such words within!
