Oh pitiless Time, your hands never cease Their endless toil; you never do reveal The key to your immutable clock’s lease — And I in your shadow breathlessly reel And stumble; you are never late, nor pause To sing a Sun a lullaby; I know A kiss so soft upon the lips should cause Your hands a merciful surcease of flow; Time, you have thieved enough the fiery bliss Of Woman’s love, her passionate embrace — To but shackle your hands and bind Her kiss In eternal gift of beauty and grace — With last exhale I will your trot eclipse, And seal Her gift of love within my lips.

What a great gift! and sealed with a kiss, who could want more for Christmas? Ah, but that kind of kiss would be worth waiting for...even if it was hidden underneath a veil of mystique. ~ARH "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take - but by the moments that take our breath away." |
