Has there been a perfect kiss
One that suspends lovers in a state of bliss
An embrace
That’s pure grace
An ideal that writers will express with passion
And dreamers try to Imagin
Perhaps it can be
Because your soft, gentle touch and sweet lips are always with me
Even now we can no longer be together
Our love is forever

I’ve known kindness
A hand griping mine and pulling me up from a fall
A person to turn to who does not judge, only there to help
Until the call came that they were gone

I’ve known friendship
Lifelong and a bond stronger than between siblings
No event, no distance could separate us.  Lonesome but never alone
Until the call came that they were gone

I’ve Known love
Kindred spirits, Souls joined in a rebirth
We made a home and a family, The future we would face hand and hand
Until the call came that they were gone

Now I am alone
I’ve stayed too long at the party and still can’t leave
I stand awkward, head sunk into my shoulders and my feet rooted to the ground
No one awaits a call about me

I walk the path lost in contemplation
Dark thoughts seeking illumination
My spirit longing to be free of the human condition
But prayer is a conversation
With someone or something of one’s own imagination
