Poem – “Not before I Kiss you” – Love Poetry – 6/15/2021

Do not drift
Without the solid kiss
Upon the greatest pair of lips
To speak words that sift
In ashes that leaked
From eyes deserving of joy.

I want to curl your form
In these pair of arms,
Walk with you
To a Heaven away from Hell,
To a place you were grieving
Yourself from believing.

To stop you from leaving,
I will wield you beneath
Moon and stars, outside grief.

To crown you a wreath,
In celebration for your life
A majesty apart from strife.

Weeping while colors compare you
To each sunrise upon the dew –

As love is the vision
Both of our lives knew.
We share flame for two feet,
Merging foundations in the heat.
