A kiss is all I ask of thee
a smile upon this face I see
tis kindly given, this lover's touch
I plead for this, seems not that much

Tis your eyes, holds this spell acast
upon my heart, it beats so fast
to taste that which lies upon your lips
some dawn rise dew, some honeyed sips.

Tis some dream that you can give to me
to feel you close, a touch tenderly
your breath upon my flesh or skin
tis now that life, my life begin.

Oh, I do ask for such favor nigh
to hear some sound, a soundless sigh
of joy and pleasure, or welcome smile
tis yes you say, your lover's wile

Backward falling deeper still
A hole my body seems to fill
Distant thoughts not for this time
Longing for the tone of chimes
A sweet breeze of magnolia bloom
Southward home, fading room
A deepening sorrow beating the race
The finish line so close to taste
Salty water and heavy heart
Ghosts of those who haven't start
So many voices in casual glance
Was always hesitant to dance
Looking in for across the way
Had no trouble just to stay
Dark gray world with tints of blue
Blind man's search for extra time
A ship acast in open sea
Drifting along under a tree

— The End —
