The War Kiss


The War Kiss

 

I had a dream & she was with me

a place where ugly grims gleam

That a stage of war

death, blood, bullets, more


All spit grotesque words

brutal, Wings torn off birds

Hatred, greed & malice

saddled, burdened avarice


In such splatter I saw,

by my side, a child glow

On a bicycle he rode

He smiled like nothing odd


Shaken to the core

I asked don't he know

He smiled yet again

I wondered that he sane


Yet that child kept flow

That child, 13 or so

I followed him for a while

with him, her; I went another mile


shouted out loud, I want to know

tell me your secret and I will go

He stopped at once

Towards a plateau he runs


A girl fair, short and sleak

waiting, smiling like he did

He ran to her she saw too

gazed her eyes said I love you!


They kissed and I felt ache

I thought, I cursed for god sake

When she stood beside

Why troubled was I


She and her beauty

Forgotten because of me

Took her hand I said I do

Eyes gleamed, I love you too


The world came to rest

I saw, she was at her best

May I, I know she said yes

We came close, the world and rest


All in nature, all I say

Aphrodite come to earth may

Yet yours beauty first and true

I keep yours only for, I Love You


Your voice has me moved

Has me utter joy utterly soothed

All I pray be together with you

As I behold for, I love you


Keep me moving, let me hold on

In my own fire, my own lone

now that hope isnt, miracles nor

But a thousand had I loved, a thousand I would more
