I have never felt such a grief before in my life.  It is unrelenting.


Tenderness of the Kiss

Kiss of life

Kiss of love

Kiss of death

Kiss of resurrection

Kisses are the tender expression
Of love between two souls
United by their affection for each other.
Kisses are the tenderness
That is felt but cannot be expressed in words.
Only when two lips meet, is the tenderness
Transferred and implanted to grow
Deep roots of undying love.
My lips now are dampened with tears
That flow from these eyes 
Viewing the world in sadness.
My lips are pursed for kisses
That will never come again
From the heart of the man I love.
These lips are aching for the touch
Of gentle kisses, delicate and fine
Then firm and passionate.
But there are no lips that can replace your lips. 
Your lips on my lips; 
Your hands holding my hands;
Our bodies touching and yearning for union; 
Only emptiness remains.
The air of the lost is all that's left
Between us now.
The empty space of separation
Grows as time passes
Until there is nothing
But caverns of memories,
Though hallowed be,
Still echo the desires
Of two lonesome souls,
Flying through the universe,
Searching again
For the kiss
Of
Resurrection.

Certainly one of the most beautiful love poems I have ever read.

Certain kisses have the power to persist on our lips, and nothing seems to have the power of deleting them...

Hi Kathy

Sorrow and grief are chalices of love
All our hearts have grown accustom,
Hearts and souls have wined and dined
And found fulfillments joyous bounty;

In this love both have found a renewed
Strength and wisdom! and shared deep
Truths: which will go-on-abiding... never-ending...?
In each other you've discovered a new
Unquenchable growth a new wisdom in person!

A new belief a new intake on what was once
Only thought of as your could be? A miracle
But now how effortlessly and almost naturally
This will always seem to be... because?
Yours and Mikes love was effortlessly true
And continues to be; even now in these things
Done you've done and shared,
Through shared timeless memories
Muse and verse!
That holds No digital or earthly bounds...
You two will forever be bound as friends
And lovers

Katherine - Selection of words & way to define the mildness of topic is awe-inspiring. Love the lines,

Kisses are the tender expression
Of love between two souls
United by their affection for each other

Thanks., Amir
