WITH BUT ONE KISS

From the longest of distances
with the saddest eyes
     I had never before seen
I had myself a vision
 with all the  secretive hauntings
            of a muted dream
 She,a shy vixen
     with a troubled heart,
I can feel every last hurt
     though we are a thousand miles apart

Her voice is silent
I can only convey my empathy with touch
    In the dream,
    I caress her soft face
   giving her an infusion of promise
          and wings to the hope
          that she needs so much

It is not what I can give ,
more about what I can take
    one kiss for surrender
    one kiss for escape

   With but one kiss
   I would make her mine
          not forever
   but for a moment
             forever in time .
I will absorb all her woe and sorrow
  her pain and heartache
        will be replaced by tomorrow .
All with but one kiss.
