I once blew a soft kiss into space, <\/span><\/p>\n

With a prayer it would lite on her face, <\/span><\/p>\n

In a desperate moment when torment had ripped my soul from inside, <\/span><\/p>\n

Through space I flew to her and watched her sleep as I softly cried, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Applause for the desperate man in need, <\/span><\/p>\n

No matter the distance love will succeed, <\/span><\/p>\n

All the feelings I held so tightly inside with her image pushed in deep, <\/span><\/p>\n

With a dreamed image in my head I danced until I finally found sleep, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Somehow I survived to be here at last, <\/span><\/p>\n

Will I ever be whole or did it come too fast, <\/span><\/p>\n

What’s left in my mind are the pains of desolation telling me I’m all alone, <\/span><\/p>\n

A gift from a land so foreign that loneliness is the only place to call home, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you cry for me as a man one night all alone, <\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet angel I have sins of war I must first atone, <\/span><\/p>\n

May I go home now and sleep in my bed or will I find souls of enemy dead, <\/span><\/p>\n

My heart and my mind are so burdened of wars sin that my hands are red, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please don’t ever leave me don’t drive away, <\/span><\/p>\n

It is for you that I survived to stand here today, <\/span><\/p>\n

Told that I’m all alone, to exist as a discard of your love, to start anew, <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet my pained heart cries to the wind “that doesn’t sound like you”, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the kisses I blew did any find you, <\/span><\/p>\n

Or travel the emptiness of “time that flew”, <\/span><\/p>\n

Should I steal a kiss and run from it all like a thief in the night to hide, <\/span><\/p>\n

Place a casket at the door with tombstone marking the boy that died, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I survived it for you to return as I said, <\/span><\/p>\n

And kiss once more the image in my head, <\/span><\/p>\n

Etched in my face and shown by the gray in my head it was no easy task, <\/span><\/p>\n

But the boy you knew died on a river boat and I’m the remains if they ask, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I promised once more to return to you, <\/span><\/p>\n

With all that I am I will make sure it’s true, <\/span><\/p>\n

For nearly two years I’ve stared deep into the past and clung to your kiss, <\/span><\/p>\n

So many words I sent into space with a whisper of love and treasure this, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I stand at your door and you say hello, <\/span><\/p>\n

Inside my head I’m begging you never go, <\/span><\/p>\n

All that I am is mixed into you as I am but the dirt that feeds the crop, <\/span><\/p>\n

The garden to be sewn of our seed has yet to start or will you say stop, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When your smile caught a morning ray,<\/span><\/p>\n

Came a reflection of love to forever stay, <\/span><\/p>\n

It shone through the dark vastness of space to light up the night skies, <\/span><\/p>\n

Reflecting on kisses and whispers of love to be seen as stars by our eyes, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All the kisses I threw with whispers in air, <\/span><\/p>\n

Are lighting the sky as proof my love is there, <\/span><\/p>\n

As I stared backwards in time to find your love the future flew by too fast, <\/span><\/p>\n

And it scared me to death that tomorrow’s love had become our past, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a moment in time a lifetime was cast, <\/span><\/p>\n

How is it your love makes time move so fast, <\/span><\/p>\n

From a word of hello came the words I had kept locked up inside too long, <\/span><\/p>\n

Please don’t ever leave me my angel after fifty years my love is still strong, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How you’ve loved me is beyond my mind, <\/span><\/p>\n

But a series of lies has made you blind, <\/span><\/p>\n

Eyes closed in the sun denies the heat just as love changes what you see, <\/span><\/p>\n

From far in your past came a man that seen from afar is what’s left of me, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We woke in the night embracing our love, <\/span><\/p>\n

Then danced under the starlight of above, <\/span><\/p>\n

In a series of dreams from long ago, long before I was forced off to war, <\/span><\/p>\n

I danced with you under starlight made of kisses, words of love, and more, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Under a halo of angel kisses and the love word, <\/span><\/p>\n

I whispered love for you loud enough to be heard, <\/span><\/p>\n

And I held you until tomorrow as your beauty brought tears to flow, <\/span><\/p>\n

Of every love story in time ours is the greatest story I will ever know, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The soft smile on your lips tingles my heart, <\/span><\/p>\n

To hold you so tenderly is my life’s best part, <\/span><\/p>\n

I am but a microsecond in time similar to a spark that for a moment did shine, <\/span><\/p>\n

To the rest of the world I am nothing, but only I, am the spark you called mine, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t ever leave me, please don’t ever go, <\/span><\/p>\n

For I am the love that will forever glow, <\/span><\/p>\n

To shine forever at night or in the blue, <\/span><\/p>\n

I am the one that will always love you.<\/span><\/p>\n
