What does a kiss on a soft cheek cost?
A heart?
Laid in her palms
Is that the price?
Or a soul
Should it be
At her feet
Sacrificed?
Or maybe the time that is left
The last breath
The final sigh
In return
For a moment,
For lips to touch?
Tell me
What more should someone offer?
What more will she ask?
For the right
To rest
Two weary pilgrims
My longing lips
on the sacred land
of her cheek?

What more will she ask?
For the right
To rest
Two weary pilgrims
My longing lips
on the sacred land
of her cheek?
