Kiss before you open 💋
Let these days hasten
So that we may again meet in person
As for now cling to what is written
For my heart is poured out herein
I thank this pen for vomiting this ink
That I may express what I think
Think of these words do not for a second blink
For they are to my heart, a direct link
At first I would like to thank God for life,
So how are you doing in this master life?
You do know that I want you to be my wife
Thoughts of losing you stab me like a knife
Oh how I miss you, my sugar-honey mixture
I miss your smile, that sweet humble gesture
Beholding you gives radiance to my skin's texture
Come back soon let my eyes on your pasture
DEDICATION...neither songs nor any Psalms
None even in the best of the best hymns
Nor in the craftiest of proverbs and idioms
Can grasp the tune that my soul hums
For you, it always beats and thrums
Resulting in constantly sweaty palms
I am nervous for you yet I embrace the qualms
For my heart begs for your emotional alms
It utters your name without any shame
Throbbing like a winner in the crucial game
Like a miner clinching a gold claim
That's how I feel when my heart utters your name
Yet still, this distance fades your face away!
